Ineos has recently released their mini-documentary on Filippo Ganna’s attempt at the Hour Record. (Plot spoiler: he smashed it). Even though his record-breaking ride happened over a year ago now, we remain impressed his physical ability and accomplishment. What’s made us even more impressed with Ganna’s skill on the bike is that, over the past year, not only has he excelled on TT bikes, but he’s also been fairly successful as a sprinter. Yet, on display in this film is not only the Italian’s strength and endurance but also some insights into amazing cycling tech, such as a 3D-printed Pinarello. Check out film above.
