Jack Bobridge World Record 4000m

On 2 February 2011 Australian Jack Bobridge set a world record for the 4000m pursuit at the Cycling Australia Track National Championships.

Bobridge, 21, scorched around the hot and humid Dunc Gray Velodrome to post the new mark of 4:10.534, eclipsing the 15 year old record of 4:11.114 set by Great Britain's Chris Boardman at the 1996 World Championships in Manchester.

Here is the world record ride as seen through the lens of John Veage and told in Jack's own words.
