She’s done it, @ellenvdijk is the new #UCIHourRecord holder with a distance of 49.254km!!! 🤯 #EllensHour #EllensUurtje
Ellen van Dijk has done it: the rider of Trek-Segafredo has set a new World Hour Record on the Grenchen velodrome, setting a distance of 49.254 Kilometers over the whole hour on the track.
The Dutch rider rode a total distance of 49.254 kilometers and thus managed to convincingly ride the old record of Joss Lowden out of the books, adding over 800 meters to the previous record. Van Dijk has became the most recent record holder with no competitor in sight, giving a continuation to her streak of success in time-trialing - after she has taken the World champion's stripes last year in Leuven.

- There is one very important reason why cyclocross didn’t take off when it could have in the UK, TPs lack of charisma and talent to present a hero young kids (future generations) would want to emulate. The hero factor is tge single most effective tool in making niche sports popular. Yes, Belgium has the advantage of tradition and The Netherlands of being more committed to sport in general without biais towards the more popular ones which is why they excel at so many secondary sports, skating, hockey, rowing and you’ll almost always find a Dutch talent in any sport be it horse-riding, darts or chess. But really it’s a case of why does anyone expect any country to be good at every sport when it isn’t a collective top down philosophy and despite all the money that was pumped into the British system it is obvious they don’t have the right general attitude to sport to ensure each one attracts its disciplesMistermaumau18-12-2024
- WC hardly counts. - You couldn’t be further away from the truth.
