Spain's Abraham Olano has called off his challenge to the world hour record, scheduled for Saturday. The ONCE rider, runner-up in the Giro d'Italia, was advised to postpone his attempt at breaking the record held by Britain's Chris Boardman after medical tests revealed a rise in his body's level of lactic acid. That was thought likely to be the result of his efforts in the Giro, which ended on Sunday, and Olano announced on Thursday that he would not go ahead with the record attempt.
