Vittoria Bussi
Vittoria Bussi is an Italian professional racing cyclist. She holds a DPhil in pure mathematics from the University of Oxford for the 2014 thesis Derived Symplectic Structures in Generalized Donaldson–Thomas Theory and Categorification.
In September 2018, she set a new UCI Women's hour record, riding at the Aguascalientes Bicentenary Velodrome, Aguascalientes, Mexico, beating the previous record set by Evelyn Stevens in 2016 by 27 metres. It was Bussi's third attempt at the record, having fallen short of Stevens' performance in Aguascalientes in October 2017 by 404 metres and having abandoned a second attempt after 40 minutes the day before her record-breaking ride.
Later, on October 13, 2023, Bussi set another UCI Women's hour record, at the Velodromo Bicentenario in Mexico, with a 50.267 km distance. She broke the hour record again on 10 May 2025 with a distance of 50.455 km, also on the Velodromo Bicentenario in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
