Campenaerts to attack Wiggins' hour record in April

Campenaerts, who has won the last two European time trial titles, is aiming to beat the 54.526 kilometres record set by five-time Olympic champion Wiggins at London's Lee Valley VeloPark in 2015.

"This record, the individual world time trial title and the Olympic gold are the three dreams that I want to pursue in the next few years," the Lotto-Soudal rider said.

"I do not think of being a better athlete than Wiggins.

"The record of the hour is a unique challenge in cycling and breaking it would be a way for me to write a little bit of the history."

The Bicentenario velodrome in Aguascalientes sits at an altitude of 1,800m and has hosted several track record bids.
