UCI Hour record: 48.007 km[2]

Vittoria Bussi (born 19 March 1987) is an Italian professional racing cyclist.[3] She holds a DPhil in pure mathematics from the University of Oxford for a 2014 thesis entitled Derived symplectic structures in generalized Donaldson–Thomas theory and categorification.[2][4]

In September 2018, she set a new UCI Women's hour record, riding 48.007 kilometres (29.830 mi) at the Aguascalientes Bicentenary Velodrome, Aguascalientes, Mexico, beating the previous record set by Evelyn Stevens in 2016 by 27 metres.[2] It was Bussi's third attempt at the record, having fallen short of Stevens' performance in Aguascalientes in October 2017 by 404 metres[5] and having abandoned a second attempt after 40 minutes the day before her record-breaking ride.[2]
