Filippo Ganna, announcement surprises fans

Filippo Ganna postpones hour record attempt

Filippo Ganna postpones his attempt to break the hour record. The Ineos cyclist in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport put it this way, “It will not be in August. I wanted to think only and only about the Tour de France without having other thoughts in my head. Once the Grande Boucle is over, more or less the period will be decided, which should be in my opinion after the World Cup.”

The hour record could also slip to next year: “It is not my priority, as I have always said. So many people had asked me to try to do it … but it was not coming from me. In any case, it will wait a little longer.”
