Atomic Racing Club tipped to challenge Hour Record
Mexico City, April 2, 2011 – Rumors circulating in the cycling community point to a new Hour Record attempt by a member of Vancouver based Atomic Racing Club. Though no one has been able to confirm a challenge is in the making, various sources have spotted club president Andrew Wilson on location in Mexico City recently, visiting the velodrome. “No one has come forward to book the velodrome for anything at all”, said Velodrome manager Victor Gonzalez de Tepango Rodrgiuez Chichural, through an interpreter, “but certainly it’s available, and we do have the history to support the idea that it would be a worthy place to give it a shot”.
The historic velodrome in Mexico City has been home to a number of various attempts and world records, including those made by Ole Ritter, Francisco Moser and the great Eddy Merckx.
It has long been known that Atomic Racing has members with the calibre to seriously threaten the record, but to date a serious announcement of intent has not been made.
Representatives of Atomic Racing Club could not be reached for comment.
