Filippo Ganna will take on the UCI Hour Record at the Tissot Velodrome in Switzerland in the hope of surpassing the mark set by Britain’s Dan Bigham.
Ganna will need to ride more than 55.548km to break the record, which is held by his Ineos Grenadiers team-mate Bigham, who is his performance engineer for his attempt.
The Italian, who is a two-time world champion in the men’s time trial, having triumphed in 2020 and 2021, is considered one of the best cyclists in the world against the clock.

“I have been training on the new Pinarello bike and it’s super-fast – I love it,” said Ganna. “It’s another step on from the already high level we have with our equipment.
“The team puts so much energy and effort into these projects, and our partners, from Pinarello and the new prototype bike, to a fully-customised skinsuit made by Bioracer – they’ve done their part so now it’s my turn.
“I’m going to feel really good stepping into that velodrome. Mentally that’ll already give me some extra metres.”
When is Ganna’s Hour Record attempt?
Ganna will begin his effort at 19:00 UK time on Saturday, October 8 at the Tissot Velodrome which is the same venue where Bigham set the Hour Record in August.
