Marcel Berthet - Oscar Egg

A special chapter in the history of the hour record was written by Marcel Berthet and Oscar Egg. From 1912 - 1914 the record was improved five times.  Maybe this fight between the two cyclists would have lasted even longer, but it was ended 1914 when World War I began.
I try to find out more details. Enjoy the article below by Owen Mulholland. I have directly linked to the bikeraceinfo.com Website
