Their Men's pursuit team. Oh my... 

 

I remember watching that. Their team probably ended up in jail after that performance...

I'm usually not a fun of this strange idea but this time I'm happy.

Ashgabat have a very nice velodrome, I remember the Asian Indoor Games

Just hope that we'll haven't the annoying fake fan...

Not so sure that he'll actually go for the World Record. It sounds more like just the Danish record, but we'll see.

Anything that's about someone riding one hour at 50km/h+ goes in the books as WR attempt

The Danish record is 53.619 km/h, which is the second longest in the world, so it will not be easy for Bjerg to beat Toft Madsen's record. Toft Madsen set his record in Mexico, while Bjerg's attempt will be in Odense. Not really the same conditions.

Toft Madsen's record at European ground is 52.324 km/h, Bjerg record is 52.311 km/h.  Bjerg will very likely beat 52.324 km/h.

For a long distance, riding on sea-level might actually be better than on high altitude like Aguascalientes.

Hey everyone.

I will go to Odense Velodrome today, where Bjerg's attempt will take place, and suppot him in his hour record attempt. I promise to post pictures and a couple of videos from his attempt. 

His attempt starts at 18:00 CET.

30 minutes to start.
