Surely other people have gone this fast?
4 man teams have gone 4km in under 4 minutes, thats over 37.2mph. Thats world record pace.

Petacchi and Cipollini have sprinted for around 200m at 44mph, Marty Nothstein can hit 45mph for maybe 100m You will never hit 52mph, not even 46mph.

If you really want to turn that big 60x11 get behind a van, or SUV and you can do it, but without a draft, and without a tailwind, no chance.

Unless you are something the world has never seen.
