The record requires round tube frame.

Zabriskie required to ride Cervelo (contract).

Cervelo does not make round tube frames.

So does anyone know if Zabriskie set the previously unclaimed US
Hour Record?
How far?

Talk about ****** of tha Decade.......

It was a miserable **** UP.

Spectators arrived at ADT at 9:00am for the 9:00am start of Zabriske's
Hour attempt. They found Dr. Kays on the track half way thru his Masters
World Hour Record attempt.

30 min later, he ended w/174 laps....7 laps short of the record.

During his event everyone was murmuring about wondering where was
David Z? Well, he was dressed in jeans and a tshirt sitting in the
front row of the stands next to Floyd Landis. Most of the 50 specators
wondered why he was not warming up as they expressed anticipation at
seeing him ride.

The second Dr. Kays was done, everyone applauded and half the audience
got up and left.

The rest of them stood around waiting for Zabriske to ride. After
waiting about 10 min they all watched him get up and amble across the
track to the apron to chat w/the other VIP's while the officials
packed up their gear, put away the starting gate and left the bldg.

Huh?

Turns out "Zabriske did not have the correct bike with him so the ride
was cancelled."

Anyway....While thzy were still mingling and confused, Floyd (who has
never ridden the track before) took a twirl around the cote d'azur on
the blue accelerator bike and nearly crashed when he tried to coast to
a stop at the starting gate....uh....the pedals and bike kept moving
as he momentarily lost his cool! Just as he began to recover, he ran
into the sponges that were still on the blue band and had to get up to
the black line....w/almost enough speed to stay on the track. All's
well that ends well?

With that the VIP's packed up and headed down to San Diego.

....def a bizzarre event. Half the people were expecting Zabriske and
the other half were not expecting Dr. Kays.
