Cycling – women’s 1 hour unpaced standing start

The official UCI one-hour distance record from a standing start is 46.065 km by Leontien Zijlaard-Van Moorsel (Netherlands) on 1 October 2003 in the Olympic velodrome in Mexico City, Mexico. The UCI’s “best performance” distance over one hour is 48.159 km by Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli (France) on 26 October 1996, also at the Olympic velodrome in Mexico City, Mexico.

Did you know? Since 2000, the Union-Cyclist Internationale (UCI) have only accepted records set on a “standard, non-aero” bicycle. Results achieved using bicycles no longer approved by the UCI are listed here as “best performances”.
