For me, the clear candidates are options A and E.
I discarded E because it changes the meaning. It is not the same to say in an impersonal manner "it is hoped", as the original sentence is saying, than to say "the cyclist hopes setting".
In this latter case, we would be saying that it is the cyclist who hopes to set a new record.
Do you agree with my observation?

This explanation is alright - additionally hope + infinitive is preferred to hope + gerund....
