Cycling's Hour Record: Can Ollie Beat Eddy Merckx?

Eddy Merckx is widely regarded as the greatest cyclist of all time. He has won almost every single bike race, multiple times including all of the grand tours and the world championships. In 1972 took on the Hour Record, one of the pinnacles of cycling achievement, a feat that he claims took three years from his life. Ollie on the other hand just likes riding bikes.... but with modern training and technology can he beat Eddy's hour?
