Jens Voigt's hour record is already history - Austrian professional cyclist Matthias Brändle from the Swiss team IAM Cycling sets a new record on the track in Aigle. Brändle achieved around 700 meters more than Voigt during the one-hour ride with material from Swiss manufacturers.

The 24-year-old Brändle from Team IAM Cycling set the hour record on the UCI 200-metre track in Aigle on October 30, 2014: for a long time it even looked like 52 kilometers, but in the end it was exactly 51.852 kilometers. And thus 737 meters more than the record now broken by former champion Voigt, set on 18 September in the Grenchen velodrome.

Brändle relied on a Scott time trial machine modified for track racing for his record, the Plasma 5. DT Swiss disc wheels were the material of choice for the wheels. Since this summer, the UCI has once again allowed time trial racing wheels for the hour world record, which brings a breath of fresh air into the record hunt. New record attempts have already been announced for 2015, with Bradley Wiggins planning to take to the oval to set a new record.
