Hoy attempted to break Arnaud Tournant's record set in 2001 on the same "at altitude" velodrome in La Paz, Bolivia. In his second attempt, Hoy narrowly missed the record by 5 one-thousandths of a second, clocking the second fastest kilometre ever (58.880 to Tournant's 58.875).Hoy didn't leave La Paz empty handed, however, as he set the World Record in the 500m from a standing start. He bettered the previous mark of 25.85 by another Frenchman, Arnaud Duble.
