Says the person who only ever posts to blame cyclists including  blaming other cyclists because someone pushed a kid off a bike. Now a rider can use a bike that currently conforms to the rules for track pursuit bikes. Thanks to this preparation I’ll be comfortable in those circumstances.”    The time zone is also the same as Belgium's, so it meant no jet lag or time adaptation needed when he travelled to and from Namibia. The track is very similar to the track Wiggins set his record at in Londer, but at 1887m high though, there was considerably less aerodynamic resistance for Campenaerts to overcome due to lower air density at elevation.

Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Soudal) successfully set a new UCI The Belgian set a distance of 55.089km in his hour, beating the 54.526km record of Bradley Wiggins set in 2015 in London by 563 metres.Campenaerts delivered an imperious performance in his attempt, maintaining a fairly consistent pace throughout.The 27-year-old hit the first 10km four seconds quicker than Wiggins, riding around 16.2 seconds per 250m lap in the first 20 minutes.The splits then began to drift to around 16.3 seconds per lap, still enough to set a new record, but enough to show Campenaerts was beginning to feel his effort. After about 15 test runs of about 4.5 minutes you’re pretty exhausted. Jack's preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking (the latter being another long story), and on Sunday afternoons he can often be found on an M5 service station indulging in his favourite post-race meal of 20 chicken nuggets, a sausage roll, caramel shortbread and a large strawberry milkshake. “I was too optimistic at first, and after half an hour I needed to set a new, slower pace. Victor Campenaerts has revealed the gearing options for his Hour Record attempt next week.The Belgian time trial specialist is looking to beat the current record of 54.526km , set by Sir Bradley Wiggins in 2015.Campenaerts has been documenting his preparation in a diary for his Lotto-Soudal team, with the latest instalment delving into the technical elements.He is considering four possible gearing options for the attempt in Mexico, set for either Tuesday, April 16 or Wednesday, April 17.Aerobar has been formed based on a mould of Campenaerts’s forearmsThe gearings Campenaerts is looking at are 59×14, 60×14, 61×14 or 63×15 , which are huge gears to be turning for 60 minutes.But each selection comes with its advantages and limitations, as Campenaerts explains: “With the 59×14 and 63×15, I would have to maintain a cadence of 104 and as I am a road cyclist by nature, that turned out too high for me.“So the 61 or 60×14 remained, being 100 to 102 revolutions per minute.“That doesn’t seem like a bike difference, but it is.”This is the highest cadence of any modern Hour Record attempts, which Campenaerts says the Brit was capable of thanks to his track background.As dates for the attempt approach, Campenaerts and his team are focusing on the smaller details alongside his physical preparation.Communicating lap times is one of the practicalities that needs to be solved, as Campenaerts used earphones during preparation but these are banned in the actual attempt.Instead the team will be using a tablet placed around the track to let Campenaerts know his time.Campenaerts added: “A final important part is keeping the right line.“After thousands of laps on the track in Aguascalientes, I’ve become quite familiar with it so that’s fine.“The coming days I will get into recuperation mode, all based on physical and mental rest, the final training stimuli and the right intake of carbohydrates.”This is how the Belgian’s gearing will compare to that of Sir Bradley Wiggins

I worked long and hard for this, and the team was right behind me, and now I paid them back.”Several previous attempts to break the record had failed, although Campenaerts raced under slightly different conditions than those faced by the track-trained Wiggins—most notably, the Aguascalientes velodrome’s 1,800-meter altitude, where the thin air is less resistant aerodynamically.UCI rules state that any attempt to beat the one-hour record must use a regulation Pundits suggested, however, that the altitude alone could have given Campenaerts up to a 1,500-meter advantage on Wiggins.
