INEOS reveals 3D-printed bike for Filippo Ganna's Hour Record attempt
CyclingTuesday, 04 October 2022 at 14:00
Filippo Ganna has had a less good season in 2022 as he was unable to replicate his Grand Tour and World Championship success of past years. However, to finish off his season he will have the Hour Record to make up for it.
The event will take place on the 8th of October, in the hours following Il Lombardia. Ganna will be attemping to beat Dan Bigham's - performance engineer for INEOS Grenadiers - distance of 55.548 kilometers in a hour.
Ganna, a track specialist and world-class time-trialist by any imaginable standard, will attempt to improve the result. The British team have revealed the Pinarello Bolide F HR 3D bike that he will be riding, with the Italian colours but most importantly, with a 3D-printed design.
It is an all-out engineering project to ensure the former World Champion is as well equipped as possible for the event, in which there will be a lot of pressure to perform after a rough set of months.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
