heywoodu 13,566 Posted October 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Filippo Ganna will attack Dan Bigham's world hour record (55.5 km or so) Saturday evening in Switzerland. He did a test yesterday, and got to a little over 56 km/h for 35 minutes, so that's promising. He's also got his eyes set on Chris Boardman's 56.38 km with a nowadays not legal bike design. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,566 Posted October 8, 2022 #14 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Bigham's WR isn't even a subject anymore, at the moment Ganna is well on his way to break Boardman's Superman-record. 25 minutes to go.

heywoodu 13,566 Posted October 8, 2022 #16 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Half a minute up on Boardman, damn. This is the end of the period of hour record attempts for the next 10 years at least. It's been 8 fun years.
