You might just recognise the names Haines and Moser, that's Vic Haines holder of multiple British tandem records and titles, and Francesco Moser, winner of Giro d'Italia, World Championships and three of the five cycling monuments (Paris-Roubaix three times); well, they're looking to make an attempt at setting a new standard for the hour on a tandem.
With such legendary names you'd expect that their tandem would be a bit special, and it is, as you can see from the photos below. When we next catch up with Vic we'll try to get more details on it, it looks fast just standing still!
The record attempt was due to take place in 2011 but Vic suffered a nasty fall at home which left him with a broken jaw, a few missing teeth and "a long list of other things too". Vic's been using a Wattbike to help with his training for the record attempt...and now his recovery.
We'll keep you updated on when the record attempt may be rescheduled in 2012.
