[edit] Females
how about incorporating female record holders, which have included the great Jeannie Longo?
- Great idea. Go for it! adamrice 13:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
well, I took a stab but not any kind of editor ...
[edit] Obree
my other comment is to opine that the noteworthiness of G Obree was not the homemade bike aspect but more that he was a non TDF outsider--Billymac00 00:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merckx
The article says that Merckx did his hour record toward the end of his career when in fact in 1972 he was just around the middle of his career. While he had already won four editions of the Tour de France and three of the Giro d'Italia, he was still in the midst of dominating the sport and would win a further four grand tours at that stage not to mention one world championships, three Milan San Remos, one Paris-Roubaix etc. As Merckx'es career ended in spring of 1978 his hour record attempt would have been toward the end of his career if he attempted it in 1975, in my opinion.--Dawesaudax (talk) 06:46, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
