That was an awesome effort and a great template for breaking a world record! He controlled everything he could.

 

Good if him to thank the team for their support - they've had to race a man short occasionally to let him live his dream. Awesome advertising for both man and team!

I was lucky that it started as I got home last night, half an hour later my wife walks in and we were GLUED to the screen! That was awesome. I can't believe we were getting so excited about a man riding in circles... 

 

That commentator on the UCI youtube page was also the best. 'Pay attention now!' he shouts as he just reels off many many numbers.

 

Great stuff

My wife and kids were all cheering for him in the last 5 minutes.

Based on similar calculations used for Gert's national record, Victor Campenaerts had to push between 510 - 530 Watts for an hour.
