There are heaps of WT pros who can do far more than 280W normalized power for three hours.

Do u mean Micheal Broadwith

[@annabelholland]

This whole journey was at 33mph average; I always get around 6-9mph average

[@ArteUltra1195]

I’m pretty sure you could do more than that if you pay attention to your speed

[@user-fk8rb8ue5h]

So what, you are out on the bike. In my book that is great.

[@Ipo024]

Met een racefiets? Zou eens Strava downloaden en gewoon eens een rondje gaan fietsen buiten de stad. Kijken hoe snel je echt bent.

[@animationmatthew1911]

3 hours at 33 mph is only 99 miles.

[@EnterTheOrb]

these people really are superhuman !

[@1958vintage]

Great video. Well done Jonathan. Well presented, too, by Hank.

[@Phonamana]

INCREDIBLE! AMAZING JOB JONATHAN SHUBERT!

[@galenkehler]

7:37 the timekeepers admit that he is drafting off the passing traffic

[@beeble2003]

Time trials are done on roads. Anybody who rides on the road is going to get some assistance from passing traffic. There's no way to avoid that, short of closing the road. However, you'll notice that he was riding towards the left of the lane, as far from that passing traffic as reasonably possible. There was somebody disqualified from a UK time trial not too long ago for riding almost on the dashed line to get as much draft from the passing traffic as possible.

legend 💪💪💪

[@jameshoey303]

Well done...

[@seansims8805]

#awsome! I'm old and inspired by this and love his comments...no wonder I find the cycling community as adopted fam . Congrats on that effort mate , great clip again GCN crew ...

[@garylaivy8092]

Brilliant job done !

[@abdoullahmitiche8405]

Glad Hank didn't jinx the WR attempt this time 🙃👍🏻

[@buildingreno]

Amazing job! I can't help but think there's a better course to do this on.

[@holben27]

Theres not really any 150+ mile stretches of flat empty road in England like there is in the states. I bet He could shave off a couple minutes if he didnt ride in traffic, but I dont think he could justify the travel costs for just a WR attempt.

[@888johnmac]

they said they spent ages planning the route .. so no i don't think there was a better course

[@aliasgharzoeb8133]

Insane effort. An inspiration for sure!

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

It's such a relief to see a bike that's not top of the line (like GCN likes to promote over everything else) and basically a home garage project. Excellent effort!

[@tvtotalforever]

World record smashed by a regular man... That dude was far from regular when it comes to cycling. Great effort

[@supernoodles908]

280 watts for 3 hours in an aero position is so beyond average lol

[@tvtotalforever]

@@supernoodles908 go on and get that record Hero

[@cadaver1ne635]

I read 100km in three hours in my minds An thought that's a breeze 🤣🤣🤣

[@wolfgangpaco6690]

Astonishing! You're a legend, Jonathan!

[@markmitchenall5948]

I was happy to do in seconds under 6hrs on a Brompton in the 2019 Ride London 100 (although was aiming for half hour quicker than that). Know for sure I wouldn't be anything close to this time on any bike. Just extreme kudos on the route planning, aero position, timing, and just awesome effort. It's a shame Strava doesn't allow multiple kudos for these kind of efforts. Just incredible on open roads, regardless of the tailwind, and especially considering issues. And love that it re-iterates the beer-gut being more aero. And seriously lovely sounding guy with it!
