Each year the cycling teams are given the opportunity to achieve record speeds along a straight section of road in Battle Mountain, Nevada. It’s a fantastic stretch of straight asphalt that’s almost 10 km long. The cyclists have eight kilometres to accelerate and their speed is measured during the last 200 metres.

We Dutch do know what mountains are (incidentally, one of my hobbies when I was single was mountain hiking) there are a lot of fine mountains just within a few hours beyond the borders.
The team went to Battle Mountain because the event is held there. What else can they do?
The inside of the VeloX: 
Notice the front wheel is between the riders legs! Not much steering there, won't do U turns.
