Hour Record Official Discussion Thread

[Armchair cyclist]

Just turned on: interesting to note that he has broken team tradition by taking his gilet off.

Faster and faster...

This is like watching Michelangelo go to work, freaking art.

 

[Lequack]

He will only beat the record because Remco hasn't tried it yet.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ridiculous distance, was expecting him to beat it but not by that much

 

[DNP-Old]

History has been written.

 

[sir fly]

Amazing.
...and only the eighth time trialist in the world

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Absolute chapeau to Ganna!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Get ready for the sound of several thousand changing the channel as we prepare for a Dave Brailsford interview.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Amazing 56.792 km, the record crushed and unified by an incredible rider.

 

[DNP-Old]

If Carlotta needs a shoulder to cry on she can call me anytime.

 

[Escarabajo]

How good was it? for those experts out there!

Brailsford has a more aero head than Ganna to be fair

This won't be broken for many, many, many years.

 

[DNP-Old]

Rectification: it might be broken. He just said ''next time''.

 

[sir fly]

This won't be broken for many, many, many years.

If he doesn't decide to try with fresh legs.

"Great I just talked 5 minutes about how important recovery and rehydration is and here Filippo Ganna is necking prosecco"

I saw this and thought you meant the ninja turtle at first...


Crazy effort though!

Hour record has one problem, it's super hard to compare to anything except other hour attempts, and the tech gains go pretty quickly as well.

I think it's a great record, but with great preperation and ideal air conditions, he probably could do more, which means other elite road TTers might have a shot especially if they go to altitude

By definition there's more kms of action every time
