• British rider records 54.555km in latest attempt
• Dowsett fails to beat 55.089km mark of Victor Campenaerts

Alex Dowsett’s attempt to regain the UCI hour record ended in failure on Wednesday in Mexico.

The British rider, who held the record for 35 days in 2015, rode 54.555km over the hour at the velodrome in Aguascalientes but never really looked like threatening Victor Campenaerts’ benchmark of 55.089km.
