Graph of laps: breaking down an hour

The first 250 metres of Rohan Dennis’ 52.491km journey on the velodrome in Grenchen took the longest: 23.663 seconds. After that he settled into a rhythm and tapped out a steady tempo that always remained at under 18 seconds per lap. As you can see by the graphic below, there were fluctuations and he did slow towards the end of the effort but it’s a remarkably steady ride. The fastest 250m was lap six, covered in just 16.775 seconds.

Of the total of 209 laps, 78 were ridden at a pace faster than 17 seconds and only 23 were slower than 17.5 seconds.

RIDE is pleased to present the lap times from the current world hour record (see below for the full summary).
