Italian breaks (own) underwater cycling record
According to Barcroft Media, a picture and news agency, 62-year old Vittorio Innocente broke his own world record yesterday.
At a depth of 65 metres he rode his customised bike along the ocean bed in Portofino’s maritime marine reserve for nine minutes and managed a non-EPO powered distance of 110 metres. The record has been recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records. Picture .
Sadly, during the record breaking feat, two UCI commissaires drowned while attempting to measure Mr. Innocente’s top-tube.
