Remco Evenpoel of Belgium dominated the elite men's time-trial at the World Championships in Montréal, completing the 39.2km course almost a minute faster than his nearest rival. The Belgian secured his fourth consecutive title, becoming the first man to do so. Italy's Filippo Ganna finished second, 57 seconds behind Evenpoel, while Frenchman Paul Seixas took third, 1:13 behind the Belgian champion.
Most expected favorites had not yet finished, but Seixas was in the hot seat with a time of 46:06. Sweden's Jakob Söderqvist was briefly leading at one point but crashed towards the end of his run. Ganna improved through his ride, beating Seixas by 16 seconds.
