So there are some rules. Buchmann from BoraHansgrohe team failed his attempt because:

1. his elapsed time was slower; they don't consider the moving time
2. he did not ascend the same climb and went up the mountain from the other side

U.S. MTB champion Keegan Swenson is still the current record holder.

What an amazing feat, averaging 280watts over a little under 8hours must have been painful 😳
