Kilometer track from a standing start is not an Olympic sport but this distance remains one of the queens of events cycling track. A distance that the French track cyclists are particularly fond.
Saturday, December 7, François Pervis smashed the world record for the mile on the velodrome Aguascalientes, Mexico in 56 seconds and 303/100. Either two seconds better than the old record held by his compatriot Arnaud since 2001 turning first cyclist to pass under the symbolic one minute 58 seconds 875/100.
In Mexico , Francois Pervis set a new world record, as did Pierre Trentin in 1968.The Olympic Games in Mexico City, the French, already world champion distance in 1966, clinched the gold in Olympic one minute three seconds and 91 hundredths.
The first world record, let alone Olympic for a traffic cyclist. Other French have since imitated Pierre Trentin to start by Arnaud Turn, one of the references of the discipline. From 2000 to Saturday, December 7, Arnaud Turning remained the fastest cyclist kilometer.
In 2000 to start , the man with 14 world titles in Mexico established a new world record of 1 minute 0.148 seconds. The following year truly marked its entry into the history of the sports with the first lap in the minute: 58 seconds 875. A feat achieved in La Paz (Bolivia) at 3,650 m altitude.
