After team time trial victory for his BMC team put him into the yellow jersey at the Critérium du Dauphiné, Rohan Dennis has admitted that he fancies another shot at the Hour Record.

The 25-year-old rode 52.491km at the Velodrome Suisse in Grenchen, Switzerland in February, to add 639m to Matthias Brändle’s previous mark.

His record was in turn broken by Movistar’s Alex Dowsett in May, before Dowsett’s fellow Briton Sir Bradley Wiggins set down a daunting figure of 54.526km on June 7.

Wiggins, however, fell short of the 55km which he had spoken of beforehand as being a record that could stand for a generation.

And Dennis, who picked up the biggest result of his career to date in January with victory in the Tour Down Under, is far from overawed by the new target.

“It is still feasible to break that record,” the Australian said.

He did, however, admit that he did not envisage making his next attempt for another five years or so, with his immediate focus being instead on his road ambitions.
