He was getting a bit wobbly at the end, but he pulled through!

Did I hear correctly that he had only ridden on a track 3 or 4 times prior to this?

They actually said he had never ridden track before. I think they meant except for the test rides leading up to the attempt.

Wiggins hit 54.526km on Sunday, although not without controversy that his bike, specifically the custom 3D printed handlebar, isn't a commercially available production model.

He would have done 55km if conditions would have been as good as other attempts.
