Still reviewing the performance at 105Sourced
Marchand wished he had noticed the warning card
In January 2017, 105-year-old Robert Marchand cycled 22.547 kilometres in an hour. Afterwards he said he could have ridden faster had he noticed the ten-minute warning card. The remarkable age did not prevent a very ordinary sporting thought about improving a performance.
He finished with something he would have done differently.
