"Ganna will surpass the ‘Best Human Effort’ mark" says aerodynamics expert ahead of UCI hour record attempt
Cycling
October 8 is going to be a special day for Filippo Ganna. On this day, Ganna will attempt to create a new men’s UCI hour record. And not only Ganna but everyone involved in cycling will be watching the outcome closely.
He will have to beat the record set by his teammate Dan Bigham which is 55.548km. “I think that Ganna will surpass the ‘Best Human Effort’ mark set by Chris Boardman in 1996 of 56.375km, using the 'superman' position that the UCI now deems illegal” said an aerodynamics expert on cyclingweekly.
There was also a rumor in 2021 that Ganna rode at 57kph for around 30 minutes without technological advancements and this boosts the confidence of Ganna. It will be a spectacle to see history being created if he is successful in his attempt.

- Somehow it has got into his mind that he is a GC rider. He is primarily a classics and stage rider who can perform on GC given his day. As a result he is wasting his time on TDF GC and once committed to GC you are too tired to do anything else.abstractengineer10-11-2026

- This is such a black eye to women's professional cyclocross if this result remains. Marie Schreiber won this race fairly. This finish is not unlike others in cyclocross. Lots of moving around to get to the finish not to cut anyone off , but to generate a sprint on soft wide tires caked with mud and sand. This is not nearly the same as a road race between two riders sprinting to the finish on faster bikes and thinner firmer tires. The powers in charge need to use some common sense, reverse this result and remember this is Cyclocross not Road racing. Unbelievable. . .Zencycle09-11-2026

Rafionain-Glas09-11-2026 - again, nothing is going to be resolved. it is a discussion board. I simply said I didn't see how MS impeded LBs sprint. the UCI doesn't care about my thoughts, and I am really not that emotionally invested in it.mij09-11-2026
