Live on YouTube and BBC iPlayer.

Due to end just before 11pm.

Great effort.

Well that got a bit emotional.

Shame it didn’t go down but even 0.15s a lap off the pace is still pretty darn quick.

Second best British distance and so further than his own 2015 record and Wiggos subsequent record.

Really hope Ganna goes for the hour at some point.

Makes Dan Bigham’s British record all the more impressive.

A Conti pro going further than a WT TT specialist.

I’m sure Ganna will go for it - apparently his did something pretty special in a 30 minute test. His numbers from the worlds TT were something else.

Thanks for the heads up.

When I first tuned in, about 20 minutes in, I thought, obviously this is going to be boring to watch, he's just going around in circles at pretty much the same speed on his own. I'll just watch a couple of minutes then go to bed.

40 minutes later I'm still watching. And, in fact, watching him gingerly get off the bike and need support to walk! The commentators kept using the word "brutal". I can't think of a better word. It was definitely helpful to have both Alex's and their description of how he must be feeling at various points as, otherwise, Alex was doing a great job of looking good throughout (to a lay person).

Fantastic effort, and some backstory and motivation I didn't really know about.
