Another attempt at the hour record this time by Campenaerts.
In Mexico at altitude again. Wiggins was virtually at sea level in London. How big a difference would that make?

Double edged sword.... Less air resistance but less oxygen. Back on my day they went for less air resistance and tried to compensate by training for altitude. With all the aero stuff it might be that oxygen at lower level wins.......

The Huub wattbike team are planning a go in Mexico, they talked about the trade off and seemed to come down on the side of thin air over O2.
