6-Hour Track Record Attempt
Miguel Angel Messineo
Date: April 19, 2026, start time 11:06 AM.
Cycling track in the city of Neuquén, Argentina.
At the start, the temperature was around 12 degrees Celsius with a wind speed of 5 km/h. I have won World Championships in New York (3) for Gran Fondo events, as well as in Cozumel, Chile, and Uruguay.
I have been a member of WUCA for years and was encouraged by Eloy Porroche to make the attempt. Sava road bike.
I eat nougat, a banana, and hydrated with Tailwind Enduro nutrition and mineral water.
I had no problems; I maintained a heart rate of 130 bpm with a 17/50 gear ratio and 75 pedal strokes per minute. Nothing unusual happened. Everything was perfectly in accordance with the regulations, and in celebration of my 83rd birthday and 70 years as a cyclist, I am grateful. With the message: It can be done. It’s never too late…! The attempt ended at 6:06 PM
