PARIS : RCS Sport, organisers of the Giro d'Italia, are asking for Filippo Ganna to find another date for his attempt at the Hour record as it is scheduled for the same day as their flagship one-day race, the Giro di Lombardia.
What, no Wout? The Wollongong World Championships time trial takes place with one notable absentee from the startsheet. Belgian superstar Van Aert is still heading Down Under but, after a long hard season, has decided to put all of his eggs in the road race basket.
Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) is primed for an “hour of pure suffering” after revealing he will attempt to break the UCI Hour Record in Switzerland next month. The Italian will hunt down the current world record of 55.548km, held by his Ineos team-mate Dan Bigham, at the Tissot Velodrome in Grenchen on October 8 at 20:00 CEST (19:00 BST). Ad “I’m looking forward to the challenge, even though it’s going to be an hour of pure suffering,” said Ganna.
Stefan Bissegger beat two-time champion Stefan Kung by one second to claim first place in the individual time trial at the European Championships in Munich, whilst Marlen Reusser matched the achievement to complete a Swiss double. World champion Filippo Ganna was unable to match Swiss pair Bissegger and Kung and could only manage a third-place finish.
Filippo Ganna has signed a four-year contract extension with the Ineos Grenadiers. The Italian's new deal will keep him at the team through to the end of the 2027 season. Ad/> Widely regarded as the most proficient pure time trialist in the peloton, Ganna is a two-time world champion in the discipline and has won 19 individual time trials as a professional.
A wonderful edition of the Tour de France came to a close as the sun set over Paris with outgoing champion Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) putting in a spirited attack on the final lap, Jumbo-Visma crossing the line to celebrate Jonas Vingegaard’s overall win, and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) storming the final sprint by a number of bike lengths. Denmark’s Vingegaard, 25, lapped up the applause as he came home arm-in-arm with his team-mates – including the green jersey Wout van Aert, who opted not to contest the final sprint that he won 12 months ago.
Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) won Stage 20 of the Tour de France as team-mate Jonas Vingegaard finished second — the Dane will win a maiden Tour title barring accident or incident on Stage 21. Wout van Aert produced a blistering performance in the Stage 20 time trial, stopping the clock at 47'59" over the 40.7km course.
Stefan Bissegger (EF Education-EasyPost) followed up a miserable opening day time trial at the Tour de France with a miserable penultimate day time trial. The TT specialist crashed twice in treacherous conditions in Copenhagen to fall out of contention on Stage 1, while on the penultimate day of the Tour he suffered a mechanical and had to swap bikes.
