The Hour Record: famous, exacting, brutalizing. Each run at it implicates a dedicated team of specialists, scientists, athletes, and even dreamers. Watch Ganna and Pinarello fight for the crown here.

No matter how you slice it, the ultimate goal of the Hour Record is as simplistic as it gets: Ride a bike as far as you can in one hour.

But if you know anything about cycling, you know how narrow the margins really can get.

Follow Pinarello and Filippo Ganna as they chase it down. No spoilers.
