Maybe there are plenty of people that could beat it. But.
The previous record stood for c.27 years.
The ctt 100 record is 3h13’37”
Maybe all those faster 100 riders just aren’t motivated by records? That must be it.
Maybe Jon’s new record will tempt a few more out to have a go. If anyone broke his record, he’d be one of the first to congratulate them.

He lost some time by freewheeling on this roundabout ;-)

If you wanted to set an RRA record, you would get a trike tandem and make a mixed pair
Or look at some of the less common place to place routes

It isn’t a done deal that a top pro could take such a record
I remember the hype about Wiggins coming to the V718 to ride the Hull City RC 10 in 2015. He was going to smash the record apparently.
And he came at it very seriously. It was about 3 weeks before he did the hour record, so he was obviously in good shape
But he only managed a 17’58” versus the 17’20” record as it was then
It has to go right for them on the day

Due to the weather, yes. Much like his hour record on the day he did it. Given you can do this whenever you see the wind is high, I think it's very different.
There's no doubt on this planet that Wiggins wasn't better than whoever held that record at the time. But as proved by many of the all time lists, even average riders can catch amazing days and go seriously fast. I had one of my worst 25 mile time trials on the day I set my best ever time, the conditions were very very quick.
Anyway, rather than answer more mindless tangents of Ares, I'll wait to see Tim respond.
The 10 record was held by Alex Dowsett at the time. There is always an element of 'the day' in the mix. In the case of this 100, the fact that he was riding through puddles on his previous attempt is probably what prompted JS to have another go yesterday. If he had done a sub 3h ride on 21 Oct, I don't he think would have been out again yesterday.There's no doubt on this planet that Wiggins wasn't better than whoever held that record at the time.

If anyone can be bothered to dig in
A direct comparison of the times JS and MB did on the section of the A11 common to both their routes on their record rides could be made
MB set the CTT record on b100/4 which isn't an out & back course in the most usual sense of time trials: it goes out, back (and a bit), out, (almost) back
https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/race-results/...
JS used that part of the A11
Also, in the only 100 that I can find where JS and MB both rode, the indication is that MB was considerably quicker on that day in June 2019, but he was DQ'd,
https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/race-report/1...
JS posted 3h30'10" to finish 7th behind the official winner's 3h24'42"
MB finished in 3h23'53" but had gone off course and performed a dangerous manoeuvre in doing so

You're right, but also people tend to set PBs on dual carriageways with favourable conditions, so it's not that different.
That's trueSome would say that start times on the V718 were set with more than half an eye on how long it took the trucks coming off the ferry at Hull to get onto the return leg of the course. A line of artics passing you all the way up the last 6 miles is quite a help.
To add a final layer of context, Shubert was happy to share that his average power for the first 80 miles (his power meter, unfortunately, cut out after that) was 285 watts. For someone who weighs about 68kg that is undoubtedly a lot (around 4.2 watts per kilogram, for those without calculators), but it’s perhaps not as much as you might have guessed given how fast he rode.

He looks nowhere near that in pics. Unless he’s 5ft6 of course.
Anyway, to answer the question prior and decent cat 2 and above racer would be capable of that, but a bit more difficult doing so in position.
W/kg also mean almost f
k all in time trials.
