Comment from someone on strava next to his ride...

Just to put something straight here guys - Guinness has always been officiating Bruce's records. They ratified his one-week record (recently broken, but only by 5km!) and his one-month record (here in Adelaide last year); and they continue to be his official record overseers. They are much more world recognized than the UMCA and are the gold standard for world records - just ask the average person in the street which one they've heard of - Guinness or UMCA!

Im not really interested in a debate on UMCA or Guinness ...but I am interested in if this statement is true or not?
Has it been proven if Guinness are ratifying his record attempt (if so where are the rules or confirmation of this)
Have Guinness now ratified his previous attempts?
Nothing against Bruce but im interested in the year record, not just watching someone eat miles on Strava (as hugely impressive as this is) It would be nice to know if this is a record attempt, or just a very long ride with sponsorship?
