	Chris Boardman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chris Boardman (born August 26, 1968) is a former English racing cyclist who won an individual pursuit gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics and broke the world hour record three times.
		Chris Boardman's nickname is the Professor, for his meticulous attention to detail in preparation and training, and his technical know-how.
		Boardman was also famous for using a specially-designed carbon-fibre time trial bicycle designed by Mike Burrows and made by Lotus, the sports car manufacturer.

		Boardman had won the previous year's prologue at the highest ever speed, not to mention a gold medal in the individual pursuit at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, so he was the hot favourite.
		Boardman estimates that he has covered at least 250,000 miles during training on public roads, yet in all those thousands of hours in the saddle he has only had one accident with a car, when a driver passed him on the right and then promptly turned left.
		Boardman argues that rather than being segregated from other road users on separate and often circuitous cycle paths, cyclists should be integrated, with a simple white line to demarcate the cycle lane on busy routes.

	Chris Boardman's Hour Record - Fat Nick's Report
		Chris spent the first lap and a quarter out of the saddle, getting on top of his gear before adopting the "Obree/Superman" position that he was to hold for the next 60 minutes.
		Boardman was lapping at about 15-16 seconds per lap, and he gave it all he had in the last half dozen laps.
		Boardman wound down for a couple of laps, Peter Keen held out his arms in an expression of admiration (and got given Chris's helmet for his troubles!), and the Gan rider waved to his admiring home crowd.

		Boardman, the former Olympic pursuit champion and world time trial champion, is privately lobbying the International Cycling Union (UCI) to urge Armstrong to adhere to strict parameters in his Hour bid, now expected to take place within the next six months.
		Boardman's current record of 49.441 kilometres, set at sea level in Manchester, spurned hi-tech aerodynamics and, like Merckx 28 years earlier, was achieved using simple equipment and a standard road bike.
		Boardman is anxious that Armstrong tackle the Hour record in the same spirit and in as near-identical circumstances as he did for his own successful attempt in Manchester.

		Boardman's 1993 record had since been broken by cycling greats Miguel Indurain (Spain) and Tony Rominger (Switzerland), but Boardman's distance of 56.375km/35.031 miles reaffirmed him as the best in the world in that discipline.
		Boardman's 1996 record was termed the 'Best Hour Performance' and the UCI ordered the Hour Record (subsequently called the 'UCI Hour Record') must now be set on a conventional bicycle.

	Chris Boardman Vs Andrea Colinelli: The 1996 world pursuit final

		Another lap (only four laps to go!) and Boardman was 0.557 seconds ahead of Colinelli, and the whole stadium became a wall of sound, the roar of encouragement and joy becoming louder as the lead increased to 1.342 seconds, then to 4.452 seconds with just one lap to go.
		Boardman could have wished for no finer opponent, and patted the Italian on the back as he passed him.

		One rider who wasn't cheering Obree on was Chris Boardman, destined to be one of the great names in the hour record, for Obree's ride must have distracted Boardman's concentration.
		Boardman himself also wanted all rides to be at less than 600 metres of altitude, but this was not written into the final rules.
		Thus it was that in the twilight of his career, Chris Boardman set off one more time on the "ride to nowehere", this time during an afternoon session of the 2000 World Championships.

		Boardman, who has had a poor year and a poor Olympics, was cheered on trackside by his wife Sally Anne who, with Legeay and 2,500 screaming fans, pushed him over the last few laps.

		Boardman was an Olympic champion, a respected member of the Continental road-racing elite who looked and acted the part.
		Boardman was never considered a contender to actually win the Tour (it lasts three weeks), but the free publicity it gave his sponsors more than justified his salary.
		In September 2000, the UCI retired the WHR and Boardman's ride was dubbed the "Best Hour Performance." A new set of rules was established for the WHR: One had to use a bike virtually identical to Merckx's, right down to the frame construction and the number of spokes in the wheels.

		Boardman begins with good intentions, wrestling either a temp track or director demands that he emulate the classic David Shire The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3 score.

		Clearly director Helgeland's dark movie is a throw-back to those grubby looking seventies thrillers and Boardman does well to keep his minor score in check, but no amount of seamless pulses, heavy percussion and meagre string support was going to make this score a major component of the movie.
