LYON, France (AP) - French cyclist Robert Marchand has ridden 100
kilometers (62 miles) in 4 hours, 17 minutes and 27 seconds.

It's not the first record that he's broken:

I'm impressed (and jealous).

Well, the dude could probably take the world record or title in the
over-100 category for every event -- pursuit, madison, RR, time
trial, etc., etc. Team pursuit or TT might be hard -- digging up
enough over-100 riders to fill out the team. There is no doubt that he
is a genetic freak considering that less than one percent of the total
population lives to 100.

Yeah, I know. Still, I'm impressed and jealous. The Bicycling
articles mentions that he started riding at age 78.

Checking the math:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centenarian
In the US 70,490 over 100 out of a population of about 310 million.
That's about 0.023%, which is considerably less than 1%.

For the world, they claim 455,000 over 100 out of a world population
of about 6.8 billion in 2009 or 0.0067%

Yeah, putting together a team is going to be difficult.
