To put this into perspective, the World Record was set by the greatest pursuiter of all time, Sarah Hammer (3:22.269)...at altitude in Aguascalientes where the elevation is 3,050 m (10,010 ft).

Dygert rode 3:20.060 in Apeldoorn where the elevation is 16 m (52 ft).





This is HUGE.

Which makes me reckon that she'll win the IP again. I'd love to see how much she can smash the IP WR by if she races it at altitude.
She just saved the team some airfare
