Filippo Ganna to ride Hour Record following World Championships
CyclingFriday, 16 September 2022 at 13:09
Filippo Ganna had set out to ride the Hour Record in 2022, but had his first attempt postponed in August as he lacked the ideal preparation for the race. He will have to beat the time of one of the team's performance managers Dan Bigham who set a time of 55.548 kilometers.
Bigham took the opportunity back in August to fill in for Ganna as the team's plans changed. Following a Tour de France where he failed to be on the podium of both time-trials, Ganna found himself in a less than ideal position. With the World Championships also near, it would have been hard to keep his best form throughout months, but now a new date has been confirmed as Ganna will hit the boards on the 8th of October.
Ganna is an experienced rider on the track and a two-time consecutive World Time-Trial champion on the road. This Sunday he will attempt to take his third title, and three weeks after he will have his final main goal of the season. “I’m looking forward to the challenge, even though it’s going to be an hour of pure suffering," Ganna said in a press release.
"It will be interesting to see how my body holds up, and just how far I can go - it’s a chance to really test your physical and mental limits. To undertake a prestigious event like this is an important step in my career," he concluded.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
