Armstrong Hour Record Attempt... I would pay to see that!

Moser tips Armstrong for hour record

Francesco Moser tipped seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong to break the current hour record and added to speculation that the American could make an attempt as part of his comeback to cycling.

If I was him I would be back to break the hour record, not for the Tour [de France]," said Italy's Moser to La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I am not saying that he can't return to the top, but he has everything to lose. Re-entering a Grand Tour after three years is risky."

Moser set the hour record 25 years ago, January 23, 1984, with a distance of 51.151 kilometers. He beat the time set by Eddy Merckx 12 years prior, though he used a non-standard bike. The current record on a road-style bike stands at 49.7 kilometers, set by Ondrej Sosenka in July 2005.
