Spanish ultracyclist Julian Sanz took it a few steps further last week, riding 2,800km on a turbo at the BIBE 2014 trade show in Bilbao, breaking the world record. Starting at 4pm on Monday, Sanz reached the 2,800km mark at 3.50pm on Saturday, breaking the 2,738km mark set by the Frenchman Pierre-Michaël Micaletti last January. Setting off at a brisk 34kph on Monday, Sanz’s speed decreased slowly throughout the week, down to an understandable 22kph by Saturday afternoon. You would think that such a monumental effort would render a man unable to stand up, but Sanz celebrated his victory on stage by spraying the crowd with champagne. https://youtube/watch?v=JcgSb4PsDJU
