quote:Wachten op warmer weer en dunnere lucht: Vittoria Bussi stelt aanval op werelduurrecord uit tot vrijdag: “Het leek wel Kerstmis”
Vittoria Bussi stelt haar aanval op het werelduurrecord van de Nederlandse Ellen van Dijk uit tot vrijdag. Woensdag waren de omstandigheden op de wielerbaan in het Mexicaanse Aguascalientes niet ideaal. “Het leek wel Kerstmis, de temperatuur was plots erg gedaald. Daarom hebben we beslist om de recordpoging met 48 uur uit te stellen”, verklaarde de 36-jarige Italiaanse op Instagram. Bij hoge temperatuur is de lucht dunner en neemt de luchtweerstand af.
Is boven de 50 per uur gegaan en l dus recordhoudsterquote:
quote:Vittoria Bussi has again broken the women's UCI Hour Record, covering a distance of 50.455 kilometres on the Velodromo Bicentenario in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
Bussi, both a renowned mathematician and pro rider, covered the cost of her record attempt via a well-sporting crowd funding campaign.
She first broke the women’s UCI Hour Record in 2018, setting a new record of 48,007km. That was broken by Joscelin Lowden in 2021 and then by Ellen van Dijk in 2023, who covered 49.254 km.

Bussi took the record back in 2023 with a distance of 50.267km, becoming the first woman to break the 50km barrier by covering 50.267 kilometres, but was convinced she could further her mark this year.
She set the new mark of 50.455km on Saturday, after abandoning an attempt just over the half-way mark the previous day.
"For me, this record has meant much more than just a sporting performance: it helped me through the darkest period in my life, so I am deeply and sincerely grateful to all the people who have supported me throughout these years, as an athlete but most importantly as a person," Bussi said via Instagram.
"I can say with a smile that I contributed to the history of the UCI Hour Record for women," Bussi said via the UCI after her successful ride.
