Sir Bradley Wiggins is set to make his long-awaited attempt at the Hour Record this weekend at the Lee Valley Velodrome in London, where he'll set out to break the mark set by fellow Brit Alex Dowsett on May 2.
The record currently stands 52.937km, and Wiggins has already stated his desire to put the record out of reach so it stands for as long as possible.
