chris hoy is the man!

Get this event back in the olympics!

thank you chris!

'quiet upper body'
the man's built like an aberdeen angus!

Enjoyed his book. My coach competed in the sport of Weightlifting at the London Games.

She met Chris Hoy, said he was a very humble, down to earth chap. Enjoys a bit of banter.

They wound weightlifter and fellow Scot Peter Kirkbride up about his personal best squat. Which was 300kg.

Hoy apparently told him he’d done 302.5kg, much to the horror of Peter 🤣

omg, did u guys see him catch back that orange dutchman on the second round sprint ? i forgot if its semi or wt . i was so excited. really really really amazed.

@chrctrnm Thats the million dollar question right there.

A lot of the training is certainly off the bike, which is different from every other sport involving cycling.

It does have the feel of a field event posing as a track event, so I see what you mean.

met chris and wiggins at manchester at revolution 16 i think it was and got a foto :)

I wonder what Hoy's average power output for the event was?

I'm guessing he's pumpin' out over 1000W.

Thunder thighs himself!!

its really difficult to increase your pace in the track in just 1 km on the road if hoy sprint he can reach around 85km/h

56 km/h??? jeez

As you know, any type of cyclist that rocks is not good and there for taking. But he is a masterclass and a lovely chap.

My 1 minute sprint is probably about 500 watts - Chris Hoy could probably hold that power for ages. (Actually a roadie like Lance Armstrong or Fabian Cancellara could hold it longer as they are built for endurance).

BOOM BOOM BOOM. Haha. Imma start saying that when I ride out of intersections

Fly my pretties

@supermat87
Do you know if that's for a very quick burst, or over something like 500m or 1000m?

Man, he must've been on some awesome drugs back then.

hát ezt még simsonnal sem érem utól...
