Evelyn Stevens sets new hour record mark, misses Longo’s all-time record
Evelyn Stevens rode 47.980km in a near perfect hour under the dome in Colorado Springs to topple Bridie O’Donnell’s current women’s world hour record by over a kilometer.
The two-time U.S. national time trial champion missed the all-time mark set by Jeannie Longo in 1996, who used “superman” position, by less than 200 meters, but now holds the official UCI hour record.

Still an impressive record given that Longo did it a) in an more aero position and b) most likely with the help of PED

Center of mass travels less distance on a 250 though, which helps if the rider is good at riding the track. 333 vs 250 is a little complicated, especially because most of the really fast tracks are 250.

I'm SURE she has wind tunnel data helping her but I still have this feeling that she'd break her own record with a no-tail helmet.
