Gustav Larsson falls short in Hour Record
꧙50.016km for Swede ♏but misses out on Dennis's title
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Gustav Larsson set a distance of 50.0💯16 kilometers in his World Hour Record attempt in Manchester on Saturday but fai🌳led to beat the record set by Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing) in February.
Former Olympic medalist, Larsson, attജempted the record as part of the Revolution track series in Great Brita🌄in but fell short of Dennis' record of 52.491 kilometers.
Larsson, a former multiple national time trial champion, admitted before his attempt that he was inspired by a number of ridersജ who have declared intere🔜st in the Hour Record in the past 12 months after the UCI relaxed several technical regulations.
"When I heard about the Dowsett and Storey attempts at the Revolution series meet at London I thought it was a super concept," he said. "It looked like the perfect venue to do my attempt at the last round and on the historically fast track in Manchester so ♉we contacted the organisers."
Heading into the event Larsson told Cyclingnews that he believed he had a shot at the record.
"But at the same tiܫme, I know that it’s hard and long so I don’t feel comfortable that it’s easy to do it. But I really believe there is a possibility to take the record."
The 34-year-old rider has been a profession since 2001 and has ridden on the road for Fassa Bortolo, Française des Jeux, Team Saxo Bank, Vacansoleil and IAM Cycling before signing with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cult Energy this year.
