Evenepoel begins bid for Worlds history as time-trial favourite
MONTREAL, (Canada): Remco Evenepoel has one eye on history with reigning title-holder Tadej Pogacar absent from the World Championships, which begin in Montreal on Sunday.
Montreal, Canada: Beloved Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel, a double Olympic champion, is aiming for a historic feat at the upcoming World Championships by winning both the road race and time-trial disciplines in the same event. With reigning champion Tadej Pogacar absent, Evenepoel is the overwhelming favorite to clinch what would be the first-ever record of four consecutive time-trial rainbow jerseys.
Two other male cyclists—Australian Michael Rogers and German Tony Martin—have accomplished this before, while Martin and Swiss Fabian Cancellara are the only men to achieve four wins overall. Two young riders, French teenager Paul Seixas and Mexican Isaac Del Toro, could also pose a challenge for the podium finish.
