34-year-old Swede Gustav Erik Larsson has failed to beat Rohan Dennis’ Hour Record of 52.491. The Swede set a mark of 50.016 at a Revolution series meeting in the UK last night.
"When I heard about the Dowsett and Storey attempts at the Revolution series meet at London I thought it was a super concept," he said. "It looked like the perfect venue to do my attempt at the last round and on the historically fast track in Manchester so we contacted the organisers."
Heading into the event Larsson told Cyclingnews that he believed he had a shot at the record.
"But at the same time, I know that it’s hard and long so I don’t feel comfortable that it’s easy to do it. But I really believe there is a possibility to take the record."
