I liked when Obree narrowly missed it on a factory bike & Boardman laughed, having planned for weeks on his single attempt. Then was gobsmacked when Obree tried again the next day on his own bike & broke it!

Wikipedia has an article on it.

I was driving home and they were discussing it on 5live. Wiggins is planning on 55km+ for his attempt.

That's insane physical and mental endurance, considering they are doing it alone on a performance bike, unpaced and with no water.
