A few days ago, Bradley Wiggins exposed the Hour Record with 54,526 kilometers. But Dennis, who won the Tour Down Under in January, is far from overawed by the new target. "It is still feasible to break that record", the Australian said. But he added that now he wants to focus only on his road ambitions.
The next month, Dennis will race the Tour de France. In order to be in a good shape for this race, he raced this month the Critérium du Dauphiné. He won with his teammates the team time trial and worn the yellow jersey.
