Italy's Filippo Ganna set a new track one-hour record by covering 56.792 kilometres at the Grenchen, Switzerland, velodrome on Saturday.
The two-time time trial world champion bettered the mark of his Ineos-Grenadiers team mate Daniel Bigham of Britain by 1.244km.
He also beat the 56.375-km mark set by Chris Boardman in 1996 using the controversial 'Superman' position.
That performance had long been seen as unbeatable as the Englishman was using 'Superman-style' handlebars.
The International Cycling Union (UCI) then tightened the rules.
"I've put so much work into it," a sweaty Ganna told a trackside interviewer.
