Props to Mr. Marchand!  :D

Hard to believe that since 1972, when Eddy Merckx set the record of 49.431 kph to the current record, set by Ond[ch345]ej Sosenka in 2005 at 49.700 kph, that the speed differential is only 27/100ths of a kilometer per hour! Too bad Sosenka tested positive for meth 3 years later and was banned by the UCI, which ended his career.
