If you really want, I can use quicktime and do a frame by frame calculation.

Also, you can see your speed in the top right corner, you appear to average 82 km/h. Your total time to 500 meters was 21+ seconds, which confirms your average speed. Your max appears to be around 84 km/h. At these speeds, in a reasonable track gearing of around 94 inches your cadence would be around 190-200. In order to hit 250rpm your speed would need to be around 110 km/h. Which we can clearly see, it is not. The gearing would have to be significantly lower for your estimate to be true.

I can post up the math later if you're interested.
