    Mgov what new bike why do skiers Crouch like this better aerodynamics exactly so why not recycling too I tried reversing the handlebars but after about 20 mi or so realized it’s not enough got to go the whole way build a new bike forget All the Rules start from scratch but to what

    End break the world 1 hour record which stands it 51 and a bit kilom 32 miles more or less well nobody can accuse you thinking small but hold it hold it before we all get carried away here even if you could do it this kind of thing takes lots of money first

    There’s the money to build the bike then you need to find a world standard V Drome which we don’t have around here and pay for that including all the timekeepers and all that you got the job what job well an used to be my manager before but she’s got enough in the plate

    As it is you can take over where do you plan to build this bike well I hadn’t got that far yet but Uh I uh I do have a tendency to hoard so anything you can use go ahead this is fantastic first to a new world record to a new world record 8 weeks from now oh wait a minute what do you mean 8 weeks from now your man

    Washing machine parts going to break a record that stood since well since before they were born what that man Su hi hi that’s right son get one thing straight Maly I know what I’m doing here maybe it doesn’t look like it but this bike’s been built according to the laws of physics there’s

    A scientific reason for every single bit of design and that’s how I’m going to break the record with or without you he’s trying to help you that’s all well I don’t need his help do this on my own Lord your holy us in your sight those command you have ask you to keep him from all harm in this world still we hope that you will stay by his side in difficult times and give you the strength to rise from Despair and self-doubt Jonathan I baptized thee in the name of

    Yeah right enough I suppose 12 months to get ready for it I’m going for it this year no that’s that’s totally impossible you’ve only got five weeks that’s fine treasure works for me ladies and gentlemen Chris B uh as you know the annual bringing by sale is going to take place in four

    Weeks you have to be impressed that nois oy has even made it the semi-finals of the world championship but of course borman’s the clear favorite his half million pound computer designed carbon fiber superide but he rode to gold medal in the Olympics two Riders chasing each other

    From opposite side of the track for 16 laps 4,000 M of Agony 4 3 2 1 the Christian band who are really rocking with the [Applause] [Applause] Lord [Applause] [Applause] 22668 a new world record for Grandma Bri to go through into the final please forgive that short pause I get quite excited by the prospect of the annual bringing by sale he’s beaten other semifinals Chris Corin by 2.38 seconds Rec [Applause] okay congratulations G awesome ride but

    You need a better moment yeah use mine for the final and the best of luck thanks another world record a new world champion you got a world Champion sorry didn’t mean to make you jump but the reception St and don’t we look like coup Wells listen Maly I know an told you about me good what wish you could do stay here I just get really down sometimes and then I tell myself get a grip man

    And I pull myself out of it I mean there’s nothing really wrong with me you know Sumer called Bret’s been on the phone about exhibition rides in France money up front accommodation for all of us that’s what he said everything for the new champion and we can go in our new

    Car what’s wrong with the one we got have you actually looked at it this time we get something a bit better who’s driving oh my word I don’t have a p [Applause] when you to beat the record of the one hour we all wanted you not to stop ever to continue for always is she and if you have eyes for the bicycle sure [Applause] Beening is it um going to be like this everywhere why not we deserve it you deserve It but how can manufacturers persuade people to buy the ride bikes when a washing machine on Wheels can break records is he cheating drugs perhaps no you can forget that he takes nothing we even tested one of his sandwiches just oranges and sugar you know I love seeing

    Him ride his position is so uh grotesque so ugly and unstable he fell off last week oh yeah he fell off we have come to the conclusion that the riding uh technique of here oby could cause him to hurt himself especially if he were to fall from his

    Machine at high speed and not only that such an an accident could cause serious injury to other cyclists it has um therefore been agreed that the riding um position of ha Aubrey will not be allowed under W please let me finish under WCF rules thank you very

    Much it’s ridiculous to see it’s unsafe I’ve only ever fallen once and you know it’s no Miracle machine either otherwise I’d win every race no way the bike meets all the WCS regulations so now they’re just making up new ones okay I’m going you know you don’t need to

    Work what am I supposed to do when you’re away on tour with all your cycling Gres I wish oh do you know the way things are going I’ll be spending a lot more time at home hagaman and his pals are really out to get me well you’re a threat you got

    To the top the wrong way if few more like you and those people won’t be running things anymore no more gravy train that’s what makes me so angry well that’s healthier than being depressed you’ll find ways to get one up on them now because of the wcf’s con

    Concerns about safety I’ve made a few modifications so ladies and gentlemen I give you the new Ultra safe oby bike stand back stand back we must not allow him to make fools of us whatever time time we change the rules he changes his bike to comply yeah then you try

    Again that’s as far back as it’ll go great your bike conten the regulations subtles must be 5 cm behind the center line of the bottom bracket i s you inspected about yesterday you okay it 5 cm all Saddles must be complete and intact Mr Aubrey if I use this first thing I ever

    Designed must be possible to purchase all parts in the commercial Market that’s just not true all the tops cyclist have their bikes personally made for them they would cost thousands to buy in a shop yes but if you had thousands you could buy it that is the

    Point the changes I had to make to the handlebars mean it’s very difficult for me to get into position on a commercial saddle because they’re so big there is no rule about the design of a well it um it doesn’t break the uh letter of the

    Rules but it breaks the spirit of the rules the spirit of the rules exactly the SP It this is from a 12-year-old’s mountain bike so we’re not breaking any Rules what’s this bastards Hagman just invented a new rule there has to be a gap between the rider’s chest and his hands a gap how much he won’t quantify is it strange that I’m the only one who rides with his chest on his hands yeah exactly

    I’ll tell you what the new rule is nobody called G M’s allowed to win the World Championships here’s what we’re going to do we’ll replace it with the tri bars they can’t object to that you can get down low enough on these and you’ll still win no I’m sticking with Old Faithful the

    Way she is you’ll be out of the championship I won doing it my way I’ll lose it doing it my way what’s that supposed to mean that’s a load of bollocks and you know it look I’m your manager right it’s my job to organize things so that you win and I’m asking

    You to use these bars and just go out there and give it the auy magic gam it’s your only chance doing it my way Maly when loser get disqualified the hell were you then [Applause] so a red flag will be raised by an official if his chest touches his hands

    Three red flags and he’s out come [Applause] on I have to say that the [Applause] wholey only one more flag of the World Champ Championship will be over [Applause] has fallen and it’s a bad one they’ve broken it Graham Aly is now ex world Champion G Mali here can take this stuff with you next time you and see an take it yourself it’s got nothing to do with me for God’s sake KY it’s got nothing to do with me either I’m not his manager anymore I’m short of that pigheaded bloody minded

    Pain in the ass which means I canot care less about any of this you still read it all though don’t you and listen if you think that you can shout at me like that then it’s time you move back to your own flat and sorted your
