Ellen van Dijk sets cycling one hour world record
Ellen van Dijk set a track cycling world record on Monday, racing 49.254km in one hour to beat Joss Lowden's old record by 848 metres.
The 35-year-old Dutchwoman is a former scratch world champion and a time-trial specialist.
"This is actually quite different from a time-trial," she said after her feat at Granges in Switzerland.
"For an hour you just see a thick black line on the track. It's a real challenge and I spoke a great deal with the team psychologist."
