Editing Hour record (section)

== Timing of the record ==
At the conclusion of the hour, the rider is inevitably part-way round a lap.  They complete that lap (meaning they actually cycle for more than an hour).  The distance completed in the hour is determined by adding the fraction of that final lap, calculated from the ratio of the time remaining at the start of that lap to the time taken for that lap, to the preceding completed laps.

Times are required to be measured to a thousandth of a second.  Distances are rounded down to a complete metre and records can be beaten only by at least one metre.<ref>UCI Cycling Regulations.
