(Reuters) - Victor Campenaerts will make an attempt on Bradley Wiggins' UCI hour record in April at Mexico's Velodromo Bicentenario, the Belgian has said.

Campenaerts, who has won the last two European time trial titles, is aiming to beat the 54.526 kilometres record set by five-time Olympic champion Wiggins at London's Lee Valley VeloPark in 2015.
