Flying 500 m time trial, men

What to remember

Aguascalientes, Mexico, gave Jeffrey Hoogland a day to remember on 31 October 2023. In the flying 500 m the Dutchman clocked 24.564 s, and on the same track he also broke the 1 km time trial record, with 55.433 sec, beating a mark that had stood for 10 years and was set by François Pervis at the same velodrome.

From 2015 onwards, Hoogland dominated track sprinting alongside his compatriot Harrie Lavreysen. He became world champion in the 1 km time trial in 2018 and from 2021 to 2023, and won Olympic gold in the team sprint in 2020 and 2024. Most of the records recognised by the Union Cycliste Internationale were set in high-altitude velodromes.
