Filippo Ganna Prepares for UCI Hour Record Attempt

Filippo Ganna lost his world title in dramatic fashion, slumping to seventh place in the time trial at the UCI Road World Championships, almost a minute behind Tobias Foss of Norway.

The 26-year-old Italian had previously put in commanding performances to take gold, but this year was different.

He announced last week that he would tackle the UCI Hour Record on October 8.

Ganna denied that his build-up for the attempt was dampening his form, saying it was just a bad day.

"I think that it was just one shit day for me," Ganna said Wednesday following the mixed team relay.

He enjoyed a better day in the mixed team relay, with Italy taking the silver medal, just three seconds behind the winners Switzerland.

Ganna will now focus on the UCI Hour Record, aiming to beat Dan Bigham's benchmark of 55.548km set in August.

The work needed for both the UCI Hour Record and the time trial is very different, with Ganna's longest effort in Australia being just over 40 minutes.

"I think it's completely different, the Hour Record is a little bit more constant in the pace," he said.

Ganna has a flight back to Europe tomorrow morning, where he will start his final preparations for the UCI Hour Record attempt.

He hopes to recover and do his best to beat the record.

Ganna's performance manager, Dan Bigham, set the current benchmark, which Ganna is determined to beat.

The UCI Hour Record attempt is scheduled for October 8, and Ganna is ready to give it his all.

"Tomorrow morning, I have a flight at six o'clock to go back home," Ganna said.

The Italian cyclist is looking forward to the challenge ahead.

He will try to recover and prepare for the UCI Hour Record attempt.
