Course Record - Malcolm Elliott?

I intend to remove the following sentence from the article:

"In 2010, Malcolm Elliott set a course record of 5h, 43m, 24s."

The table of fastest times includes three faster times:

2019 - Andy Cunningham - 5:36:20

2016 - Thomas Denwood - 5:40:32

2010 - Malcolm Elliott - 5:43:24

2005 - Chris Young - 5:43:09

Strange that Malcom Elliott's time was stated to be a record when Chris Young set a faster time in 2005. Perhaps the 2005 and 2010 routes differed in some way? A moot point, given that both times were beaten in 2016.

Prior to 2018, the Etape du Dales route went in an anti-clockwise direction, as per this website (see TIPS). The direction was reversed for the 2018 and 2019 editions. So the anti-clockwise record is held by Thomas Denwood while the clockwise record is held by Andy Cunningham (at the time of writing). Stanley Oliver (talk) 17:33, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
