Next weekend at the Alto Irpavi Velodrome – the highest gate-taking sports arena in the world – he will attempt not one but three world records which, if successful, will establish the Flying Scot as the fastest man ever on self-propelled wheels. His banker is the 1,000 metres (kilo) at which he is already the Olympic and world champion and holder of the fastest time at sea-level. If that is successful he will go for the quick-fire 200m and 500m events.
amazing stuff….
but it is hard to compare old records to new records
He missed it by .002 of a second apparently but set a new 500m record. Sources?
