In fact, Ganna was even faster than Chris Boardman, who had owned it since 1996 UCI Best Human Effort. The Briton did this on a bicycle with an aerodynamic frame and in the so-called ‘superman position’, which is no longer allowed today. The UCI cycling union therefore no longer recognized that performance (56.375 kilometers) as an official world hour record in 2000 with retroactive effect.
Ganna, a two-time time trial world champion, rode a bike on Saturday that manufacturer Pinarello has made come out of the 3D printer, which is a first. His team Ineos called the Bolide F HR 3D the fastest bike ever developed.
