Ellen van Dijk sets cycling one hour world record

SPORTS 23.05.2022

Ellen van Dijk set a track cycling world record on Monday, racing 49.254km in one hour to beat Joss Lowden's old record by 848 metres.

Text size:

The 35-year-old Dutchwoman is a former scratch world champion and a time-trial specialist.

"This is actually quite different from a time-trial," she said after her feat at Granges in Switzerland.

"For an hour you just see a thick black line on the track. It's a real challenge and I spoke a great deal with the team psychologist."
