The UCI Hour Record
On september 9th 2000, the UCI decided to create a "UCI
Hour Record" as well as a "Best Hour Performance".
From that day, the UCI Hour Record was the one that Eddy Merckx achieved in
Mexico on 25th October 1972, covering a distance of 49.43195 km.
This UCI Hour Record could only be attempted if the equipment was presented
and checked beforehand by the UCI and it had to be similar to that used by
Merckx.
Successful attempts:
- Chris Boardman, Manchester, 27.10.2000, 49.441 km
- Ondrej Sosenka, Moscow, 19.7.2005, 49.700 km
