Belgian Victor Campenaerts breaks the hour record with 55.089 kilometres

The Israel Start-Up Nation rider is riding a Factor Hanzo. Tires wise, he’s running with Vittoria Pista Ora 23 mm, mounted on HED Volo wheels. He’ll be pushing a 61-tooth Aerocoach chainring, with a waxed Izumi Super Toughness Kai chain.

His cockpit is an Aerocoach Ascalon, and he’ll be clipping into Speedplay Aero pedals. For that very long hour, he will be seated on a Simmons saddle. You can watch the ride on his Youtube channel at 6 PM E.S.T
