A historic four-peat for Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel in Montreal
Montreal witnessed a historic moment as 26-year-old Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel achieved a record-breaking four consecutive victories in the men's elite individual time trial at the Road World Championships. Evenepoel, who had also triumphed in the Grand Prix cycliste de Québec just a week prior, demonstrated his exceptional skill by completing the 39.2-kilometre technical course in 44:53.13, outpacing Italy's Filippo Ganna by 57 seconds.
The French competitor, Paul Seixas, secured the bronze medal, finishing 16 seconds behind Ganna. Evenepoel's dominance was evident as he maintained his lead until the very end, with Ganna and Evenepoel being the final two riders to commence the race. Only Canadians Michael Leonard and Nickolas Zukowsky managed to secure a podium place, finishing 13th and 31st respectively in the 60 participants who started the race.
