‘Up there with the legends now’ – Canadian amateur breaks Strava record for ascent of Mortirolo

A little-known Canadian amateur, Jack Burke, has grabbed his share of the limelight after taking more than a minute off Vincenzo Nibali‘s Strava record for scaling the Mortirolo.

Burke, 29, completed the ascent of one of Italy’s toughest climbs in a time of 43:45, 67 seconds faster than Nibali’s record, on November 16.
