After successfully beating Eddy Merck's Hour Record, Eddy being the last person to set the record using a standard bike, Chris Boardman retired as a Professional Bike Rider at the World Championships in Manchester. Chris Boardman had revealed earlier that a debilitating medical condition, which requires treatment would not allow him to compete under current UCI rules has brought an end to his career. He was diagnosed with an illness similar to osteoporosis (a brittle bone disease) in 1998. Read More Here Many thanks to Paul Wright for these Early Years photos. They are and remain his copyright.

He turned his attention to the Road, taking on the UK's Professional teams and beating them at their own game, despite occasional collusion. But his first love was still riding against the watch and he was often seen on the roads at Broxton near Chester thrashing the locals. ...Like me Chris in action during the New Brighton CC 25 Mile TT - Broxton. 17th April 1993 - Original Photo Copyright Paul J. Wright  Photo Courtesy of Paul J. Wright 1986 - Delamere TT Chris in action (1986.) Delamere Invitation TT More Early Photos   In 1992 he became a household name when he won GOLD at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics riding his revolutionary Lotus Bike in the 4000 meter individual pursuit.  Many people who had never previously heard of Chris said that the bike and not the rider had earned the Gold.  How little they Knew!      Chris & Le Tour     PrologueTick  TDF 1994- His first Tour     After Wearing the Yellow Jersey in the 1994 Tour de France and winning the prologue time trial at the highest ever speed recorded in the Tour, he went on to hold the Yellow Yersey for 3 days, until it was lost due to a poor performance by the then weak Gan Team in the Team Time Trial.  Chris was to miss out on riding in Britain in the Yellow Jersey.      1995- The Crash!   1995 Prologue   Picture courtesy of LeTour Official Site   He returned in 1995 with high hopes, much more pressure and high expectations.  In the 7.3km prologue he crashed after touching speeds of 50mph and taking too many risks in the terrible conditions.  Chris fractured his left ankle and right arm, putting him out of the Great Race almost before it had begun.      1996- The Struggle   He returned in 1996 and was pipped to his second tour prologue win & Yellow Jersey by AlexZulle.  The wet conditions forced Christo take no risks as the previous years crash played on his mind.  Chris finished his first Tour,displaying stong personal determination through the mountain stages and showed he had good recovery by impressive time trial performances during the race. He finished in 39th place, but vowed to return in 1997, basing his season round the event.  When asked about his performance in the 1996 Prologue, he replied...  "I took the corners like a tourist!"     1997- The glory & the pain Zoom! + Zoom! = Yellow Jersey  Re-live the drama of Chris's 1997 Tour de France Stage by Stage reports upto the 13th July 1997, when he was forced to quit!  The Pain! Tour97! 1998- The glory & the pain take II   When the Tour started in Ireland in 1998, Chris was considered favorite, despite a run of bad form.  Successes in the UK Prudential Tour leading up to the Tour de France had lifted his moral, but was he fit enough for the toughest race in the world.   Chris surprised no one but himself to win the prologue Time Trail for the third time in five years, beating Abraham Olano by 4 seconds.  Chris stayed in yellow the following day but crashed out on Monday's stage.  Boardman's bike clipped the rear wheel of team-mate Frederic Moncassin's bike, sending him careering off  the road and into a wall.  Click here for more photos of the crash Chris was taken to hospital immediately for a cautionary brain scan, on Doctor's orders, despite asking immediately after the accident if he could remount and get back in the race.   Chris retired from the race, which suffered later on from serious drug and doping allegations now known as the Festina Affair. Chris & "THE HOUR"   His First Hour Record - 1993   Chris planned to take on the World Hour Record, at the time held by Francesco Moser 51.151km, but was beaten to it by fellow Brit, Graeme Obree who took the record to 51.569km at Hamar, using his contraversial TUCK position, on a bike that he had built himself.  He stuck to his plans and only a week later he took the record to 52.270km at Bordeaux on 23/07/93 in humid conditions.  Graeme Obree reclaimed the record, then the big guns got involved, both Miguel Indurain & Tony Rominger increased the distance, before Chris stamped his authority on the record, an incredible 56.375km for the hour on a hot September night in Manchester.Chris Turned Professional later in September 1993 for GAN and the restis history      The Current Hour Record Holder 56.375km Setting the World Hour Record at Manchester Hour Record Picture courtesy of NandoNews   I was privelaged to witness the spectacular thrashing of Tony Rominger's previous Hour Record of 55.291km by Chris at the Manchester Velodrome on 6th September 1996. Eddy Merckx also witnessed the event as he was keen to see Boardman brake the record on one of his bikes. By his own admission Chris was unsure about beating the record at Manchester due to far from ideal conditions. But the huge crowd lifted him to new heights as he motored to a new record of 56.375km for the hour.  Chris even shaved his arms for the attempt,as every possible advantage was sought!   The 1996 Olympics   After making the Tour de France his main goal for 1996, and finishing well in his first attempt,he decided not to defend his Olympic pursuit title in Altanta, but did ride the Olympic Individual Time Trial, where he won Bronze in the men's 52 kilometre event, with a time of 1 hour 4 minutes and 36 seconds. Five-time Tour de France winner Miguel Indurain of Spain was first (1h4:05) and Abraham Olano, also of Spain, took silver (1h4:17). Later that year he won the World 4000m pursuit title at Manchester.   1996 Worlds Picture courtesy of NandoNews Final Standings   mail   Copyright Information and Credits Back
