One of the most demanding sport, no discussion about that. Following your post, I had a look to the speeds achieved during "record de l'heure". All started in 1893 with 35kph then 44kph in 1914, this one lasting for 19 years.The record established by your Chris Boardman seems the best with more than 56kph. Please note that our super vet', now retired, Robert Marchand realized an honorable 26 when young. He was only… 104! Respect, Monsieur. Conclusion? Le vélo, ça conserve!
See that, mon Ami Robert?
