Show Notes

Hey everyone, Most of you have probably heard of Victor Campenaerts and Eddy Merckx, but what about Francesco Moser, Chris Boardman, or Ondřej Sosenka? These are all legends (with the possible exception of Sosenka) of the likely most well-known track discipline - The Hour Record. In this episode, we delve into this incredibly psychologically and physically demanding discipline, some key figures and their gear, and how it has evolved from the second half of the 20th century with Eddy Merckx and the UCI. So don’t waste any time and see you next Monday!
