The new rules means the five-time Paralympic gold medalist will be able to use an aerodynamic bike and equipment, and Storey revealed the Ridley bike she will ride in her attempt earlier in February.
Storey began her sporting career as swimmer, picking up her first Paralympic medal in 1992 as 14 year old, but since turning her attention to cycling in 2005, she has equalled the records of Tanni-Grey-Thompson and Dave Roberts as Britain's most successful Paralympians.
