Jonathan Milan won the Individual Pursuit at the Track Cycling World Championships in Denmark. And he did so in a most powerful way. The Italian defeated Britain's Josh Charlton in a world-record-breaking performance. Milan succeeded his fellow countryman Filippo Ganna as world champion.
It wasn't immediately expected that Milan would win. In the qualifiers, Charlton had broken Ganna's world record, clocking a time just under 3:59 minutes, at an average speed of over sixty kilometers per hour.
Milan, who is also a successful sprinter for Lidl-Trek on the road, started strong and managed to resist the fatigue enough that Charlton could no longer catch him. Milan’s time even constituted a world record: 3:59.15. Charlton had to settle for silver and couldn't match his earlier performance, recording a time above four minutes in the final. The bronze went to former hour record holder Dan Bingham.
