Austrian rider will try to break Jens Voigt's record at the World Cycling Centre velodrome in Aigle

You wait nine years for an Hour Record attempt and then two come along in the space of a couple months, as Matthias Brandle is set to go out and try and beat Jens Voigt's Hour Record, the UCI confirmed on Thursday.

The 24-year-old IAM Cycling rider will make his attempt on the 200m track of the UCI's World Cycling Centre velodrome in Aigle, Switzerland, exactly six weeks after Voigt set the new record of 51.115km at the Velodrome Suisse.
