Cycling’s one-hour record achieved by Italian rider Filippo Ganna. On sixty minutes, he rode 56 kilometers and 792 meters in the velodrome of Grenchen, Switzerland. The previous official record of 55 kilometers and 548 meters was set in August, also at Grenchen, by Daniel Bigham, engineer and test driver for the same team, the Ineos Grenadiers. Ganna, who is 26 years old, has long alternated between a career on the track and the road. On the track, he won the team pursuit event at the Tokyo Olympics and many medals at the World Championships. On the road, he won two gold medals in the time trial, a form of event in which he has been among the world's best for many years and in which he has also triumphed several times at the Giro d'Italia. Ganna rode a Pinarello bicycle with a 3D-printed frame and an alloy of aluminum, scandium, and magnesium to set the record. A bicycle named "Bolide F HR 3D" whose manufacture was influenced, in part, by a University of Adelaide study on the behavior of humpback whales. Cycling's hour record is a historic challenge: it has existed for more than a century, and Eddy Merckx and Fausto Coppi, among others, have competed for it.
