  • I can’t really see the logic here

    The logic is that both of them knew that going to Mexico was the right thing to do.

  • Okay, I agree with that. But it’s 2018 and not 1972 and the bikes/skin suits are much more “aero”.

    Did Merckx and Moser know what they’re doing and Wiggins just liked the fact London Vélodrome is next door to his house?

    Wiggins calculated that he could beat the record in London, and that it would be far more lucrative to beat it by 1km there than by 2km in Mexico

  • Yes and if "it's 2018" why are people going to Mexico if it's going to be slower?
    Yes, Wiggins wanted the record in London, essentially his home track. He could've gone faster at altitude and if he really wanted to nail it would've waited for better weather rather than just picking a date and filling stands.
