Track Records
In addition to regular track racing, tracks are also the venue for many cycling records. These are over either a fixed distance a fixed period of time. The most famous of these is the hour record, which is simply riding as far as possible in the course of one hour. The history of the hour record is replete with exploits by some of the greatest names in cycling from both road and track racing (including, among others, Fausto Coppi, Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, and Francesco Moser). Origianlly, attempts were made at velodromes with reputations for being fast (such as the Vigorelli in Milan). More recently, attempts have moved to high-altitude locations, such as Mexico City, where the thinner air results in lower aerodynamic drag, which more than offsets the added difficulty of breathing. Innovations in equipment and the rider's position on the bike have also led to dramatic improvements in the hour record, but have also been a source of controversy.
