I did a bit of pacing with Alistair and it\u2019s not easy to sit in [on the bike] on the course we tried. It all comes down to the bike.<\/p>\n\u201cIf the bike is around 3:40\u2013 3:45hrs [for 112miles] and they save enough energy, I think it\u2019s do-able, but it\u2019ll be fascinating to see. But it\u2019s not just about going Sub-7 but beating the other team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alongside the Sub7 attempt, Nicola Spirig and Kat Matthews will also be going head to head, attempting to finish the same distance under eight hours.<\/p>\n
