“Next time I will try in another part of the season with fresher legs and we can go higher again” Ganna says he can ride even further than 56.792km, after smashing Chris Boardman’s ‘absolute’ Hour Record – set when the Italian was a month old… cycling
Worryingly for any rival perhaps inspired to challenge Ganna’s new benchmark, the Italian even suggested that he will attempt the Hour again, and warned that he could potentially go further than his history-making ride this evening.
“I think next time, maybe, I will try in another part of the season with more fresh legs and we can go [higher] again,” he said. “But I think this result is amazing. Now we think about recovery and maybe try to celebrate it together.” Asked if he started to feel the pinch around the 40-minute mark – a traditional make-or-break point for hour record attempts – Ganna replied: “No, I think the cut-off is in the last five minutes, which should be like when we do the torque effort on the track. But it’s completely different, and the legs have lost a lot of energy trying to do the 57kph. There’s nothing. But it’s okay.”We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker. If you like road.
