I wonder how they decide which riders take part in these 6 day races
There only looks to be 24 riders competing.........how do they pick them ?

Of course it was Brandle of AUSTRIA that got the record - he's the guy who had two wins on the Tour of Britain a few week ago. He only added about 700m to Jens Voight's distance, which tends to prove that there are probably a lot of guys out there who could beat it at the moment. What it probably needs now is for someone like Wiggins, Martin or Cancellara to go out there and really take a big chunk out of it to deter lots of lesser riders from trying.
