Armstrong Wants to Be Man of the Hour

There's speculation that Lance Armstrong has his eye on setting the world record for riding as far as possible in 60 minutes on a velodrome track. Chris Boardman holds the current world record of 30.721 miles. Armstrong's time trial domination in recent years has showcased an ability to produce extraordinary amounts of pedaling power over long periods.

"I think it would be an amazing spectacle," said Morris Denton, an executive for Advanced Micro Devices, one of Armstrong's sponsors. "If you look at the crowds Lance draws in the United States and you think about what would happen if you put some kind of marketing effort behind this event, it would be immense."
