Dame Sarah Storey to attempt the hour

[MisterStan]

Nice to see that the recent interest in the hour record has been picked up by the women; http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/30504173

Would be great to see the records held by two Brits.

I can see this piquing Jo Rowsell's interest later on too....

Alex Dowsett as well I read somewhere.

I get the feeling he's trying to get one in before Wiggo!

Cannot say I blame him.

Excellent. I'm really pleased that there will be attempts on the women's hour record. Good to demonstrate that it isn't just a male thing!

What about Dani King too? She's got a big engine, hasn't she?

I think I read somewhere that Dani is going to be focusing more on the road side this year....

Maybe not this year but she'll be training for the 2016 Olympics Track cycling so it's not like she's abandoning the track for good.

Found it - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/30147207, She's not being funded this year...

I agree. It is a shame though that the BBC article discussing an attempt on the Women's Record for some reason displays a table showing landmark times for the Men's Record!

No need for BC funding, as she is full time profi with one of the best women's teams.

Doesn't mean she's coining it in though does it? Or even making enough to earn a decent living.

I'll give you Emma Pooley's example; http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/27041315

They are all trying to get in (men) before Tony Martin sets the pace ... which will be hard to beat
