He and his promoters are talking of building a special velodrome
somewhere in the US, (for the increased revenues available in that
market) probably at altitude (for the decreased air resistance) and
then tearing it down after his presumed record is in the books. If
they decide to go that route his record will always lack credibility
as well as being an entirely selfish thing to do in country with a
dearth of modern velodromes for up-and-coming racers.
To honestly beat Boardman, he should ride Boardman's UCI approved bike
in Manchester.
