Marcin Bialoblocki has smashed his own British competition record for the 25 mile TT distance. He took over a minute off his old time. His average speed today for the 25 mile TT was above 56km per hour. He is currently chasing a new contract and his pro career may end if he doesn't get one soon.

Former Rás winner Marcin Bialoblocki has recorded a time of 43:00 for a 25 mile TT in the UK.
To put that into perspective, the Irish record of David McCann's posted in 2008 is 47:06, according to Cycling Ireland's records.
McCann did a 45:54 the following year in the UK. Chris Boardman's fastest ever 25 mile TT time was three seconds slower than that time by David McCann.

Boardman set a British competition record of 45.57 before McCann broke it.
Today UK-based Polish rider Bialoblocki said he has no contract for next year. So he wanted to go out and do a really fast time in what could be his final ever competitive TT.
The 33-year-old has been riding for ProContinental team CCC Sprandi Polkowice this year after two years at One ProCycling.
