<span data-start-time='96313' data-end-time='101667'>He moved slowly, but steadily, around the cycling track.</span> <span data-start-time='101667' data-end-time='104896'>Marchand is relatively

time,” he said.</span> <span data-start-time='144083' data-end-time='153958'>But the news was still good, as he did set a new record for riders 105-years-old or older.</span> <span data-start-time='153958' data-end-time='158000'>“I’m now waiting for a rival,” he said.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button
