Dowsett, the 26-year-old’s Movistar rider from from Essex, UK, has reportedly paid for the use of the Lee Valley Velodrome in order to precise for his attempt. 

If successful, Dowsett would be the first British rider to break the Hour since Chris Boardman in 2000. 

Meanwhile, six-time Paralympic cycling champion Sarah Storey, appears to be setting her sights on breaking Leontien van Moorsel’s 11-year-old benchmark of 46.065km – since the UCI modified the Record’s rules.
