Thomas Dekker will become the third rider to attempt the Hour Record this year on February 25 in Aguascalientes , Mexico. Former teammate Rohan Dennis (BMC) broke the record of 51.852 kilometres set by Matthias Brändle on February 8 when he rode a distance of 52.491 kilometres in sixty minutes in Switzerland.
Dekker, who is without a contract for 2015 , is hoping the advantage of attempting the record at altitude in Mexico will help him set a new record. Eddy Merckx set the Hour Record benchmark of 49.431km in Mexico in 1972.
The attempt will be made on a Koga TeeTeeTrack with Mavic Comete Track wheels and Koga components. Dekker is yet to announce his gearing for the attempt but will be riding Rotor cranks with a KMC (3/32") chain.
