Filippo Ganna reasons about encore

Just back from the historic Ora record, Filippo Ganna indulged in The Day: “I’m happy, I didn’t think I would make it to this incredible distance: I knew I was worth 56 kilometers, I went beyond expectations.”

The cyclist from Verbania continued, “Never again, as Merckx said? If no one beats me, it also applies to me. But I’m sure someone will come and do better, technology is always moving forward: if I have to try again, I will do it at the end of my career, like Wiggins.”

“Now I have to recover because in the coming week I have the Track World Championships coming up. Then, finally, I will go on vacation. What did the record give me? A wonderful moment lived with loved ones. It was an important day for me and for all the staff, this result is the child of a journey that started from afar involving so many people, so many friends,” Ganna concluded.
