Brandle sets new hour mark
Print Edition
AUSTRIAN rider Matthias Brandle broke cycling’s historic hour record on Thursday after covering a distance of 51.852 kilometers in Aigle, Switzerland.
The 24-year-old Brandle eclipsed Jens Voigt’s mark of 51.1 kilometers, improving his record by 742 meters.
The International Cycling Union first announced that Brandle had covered 51.850km but the rider’s team, IAM Cycling, later said the distance had been revised to 51.852km before cycling’s governing body confirmed the record.
Voigt achieved the feat on September 18, one day after his 43rd birthday. He took the record away from Czech Ondrej Sosenka who in 2005 clocked 49.7km. The fastest time was previously held by cycling greats Fausto Coppi, Jacques Anquetil or Eddy Merckx.
