He's not the best at turning and the hour record has a lot of turning. I'd venture to say he's never ridden a fixed gear, but I could be wrong.
i don't know about the fixed gear, but i was at the L.A. velodrome with him a couple of years ago. he had no trouble riding it. i would not imagine it would take him long to get used to a fixed gear. canyon wouldn't have to make him a dedicated track frame. they would rig up a road (speedmax) frame with a fixed gear. wouldn't be hard. it would not be hard for him to adapt to a UCI legal position. if he were taller, maybe, but at his height it would not be hard. i would imagine he'd do this at aguascalientes. the biggest problem would be to get around current travel moritoria and whatnot. but maybe it's easier for a canadian to go to mexico. don't know.
