Eddy Merckx and the hour record

     There is a bit of chatter about the hour record these days what with new rules regarding what is allowed to be used, making it a competition of technology and not men. Fabian Cancellara is talking about an attempt and then decided not now. Anyway here is a clip of Merckx from La Course en Tete, considered by many  to be the last “real” hour record. Merckx!
