GRENCHEN, Switzerland -Italy's Filippo Ganna claimed the Hour record by covering 56.792 kilometres at the Grenchen, Switzerland, velodrome on Saturday.
The two-time time trial world champion bettered the mark of his Ineos-Grenadiers team mate Daniel Bigham of Britain by 1.244km. He also beat the 56.375-km mark set by Chris Boardman in 1996 using the controversial 'Superman' position. That performance had long been seen as unbeatable as the Englishman was using 'Superman-style' handlebars."I've put so much work into it," a sweaty Ganna told a trackside interviewer.
