Not quite as good as we'd hoped for tonight but still far from shabby. Enzo binned Phoenix at ~ 100 km/h but he's OK and the bike was healthy enough to perform a rapid turnaround and run in the next heat with Matilde at the helm. Daniel ran the Milan to a legal 56.70; Diego's 48.50 was not so wind-free.
72.32 for Kit in Bilby is a new Australian 2-wheel record, eclipsing Adam Hari's best from last year, but still a little off Gareth Hanks' outright mark set in a trike (!) Matilde's 69.16 was smoak by the wind but Diego's fourth complete run of the day was a legal 48.66 mph. Exactly the same as he ran this morning.
François improved his PB and the European & French records, but only to 86.40 mph chiz. Al was only slightly slower than his compatriot with 72.11. Niklas refitted the lights to the Milan, ran 50.49 and then carried on back to town. Unfortunately Mason Mauldin, on traffic control duty at the finish end of the course, didn't know about this plan and nearly twatted the errant velomobile with his STOP sign
Peter was last off; 55.61. All winds legal for the third heat.
Last day tomorrow. Will François get up early and try a morning run? Can one of the Aussies set a new national record? How many
MOAR times can Alyssa (12) break her own record? And whither the Sprockettes? Stay tuned, hurtling fans!
