Alex Dowsett has had some time to digest Wednesday's UCI Hour Record attempt and, looking back with a cool head, he still has no regrets about his ride.

"I’m confident that was everything I had, and that was the important thing," the British rider said in the latest video diary on his popular YouTube channel.
