Evenepoel Claims Fourth Straight World Time‑Trial Title as Reusser Retains Crown

The dominant wins strengthen Evenepoel's bid to complete a same‑year double of time‑trial and road‑race world titles next weekend.

Overview

  • Remco Evenepoel won the men's time trial on Sunday in Montreal, covering the 39.2 km course in 44:53.13 and finishing 57.31 seconds ahead of Filippo Ganna.
  • Paul Seixas took bronze in the men's event and rising talents showed promise while last year's U23 winner Jakob Söderqvist faded late to finish fifth.
  • Marlen Reusser successfully defended the women's time-trial title in 50:24.44 on the unusually long 39.2 km course, beating Zoe Backstedt by about 40 seconds.
  • Evenepoel's fourth straight time-trial world title ties the all-time total for wins in the discipline and underscores his dominance in short solo racing.
  • With Tadej Pogacar ruled out after a season-ending Vuelta crash, these results shape expectations for the world road races next weekend and leave Evenepoel poised to pursue the road-race crown.
