Just because for a long time he was the fastest, simple as that.
"Francesco Moser was the first man to break the 50 km/h barrier. Eddy Merckx, the last rider with a "normal" bike, clocked 49.431 km in 1972. Moser used disc-wheels and a bullhorn-bar. This would become the standard time-trial equipment in the next years. I show his second attempt, where he reached 51.151 km."
