'Pretty epic' – Dan Bigham beats Victor Campenaerts’ previous mark to smash UCI Hour Record
Britain’s Dan Bigham smashed the Hour record after he completed a distance of 55.548km around the Tissot Velodrome in Grenchen, Switzerland. Bigham, who is an aerodynamics specialist and race engineer for the British cycling team Ineos Grenadiers, beat the previous record of 55.089km, meaning he was almost half a kilometre faster than when the record was set by Belgium's Victor Campenaerts back in 2019. Ad The Hour record is considered one of the most prestigious records in cycling as it is the longest distance cycled in one hour on a bicycle.
