Another landmark world record for Filippo Ganna as he breaks 4 minute-barrier for sea level individual pursuit Second phenomenal ride in 7 days for Italian who last weekend smashed the UCI Hour Record cycling
Sir Chris Hoy, present as a pundit for BBC Sport, described the 26 year old’s ride as “the equivalent of Roger Bannister’s 4-minute mile.”
The world record recognised by the UCI, however, was set at altitude by the American rider Ashton Lambie, who in August last year rode 3:59.930 at Aguascalientes in Mexico. In riding 56.792km, Ganna not only smashed that record, but also went further than the ‘best human effort’ set in 1996 – the year of Ganna’s birth – by Great Britain’s Chris Boardman using a bike and riding position banned under current rules.
