Remco Evenepoel made history by clinching his fourth consecutive men’s world time-trial title in Montreal on Sunday. The 2024 Olympic champion entered the race as the favorite and delivered a commanding performance, finishing nearly a minute ahead of his closest competitor.

By the second intermediate time check on the 39.2km route, Evenepoel was already over 30 seconds ahead. He ultimately finished with a time that left Filippo Ganna of Italy in second place, while Paul Seixas from France took home third, finishing 15 seconds behind Ganna. Evenepoel has not lost a time trial since the 2025 Tour de France, solidifying his dominance in the discipline.

With this victory, Evenepoel becomes the first man to win the time trial world title four times in a row, equaling the record held by Tony Martin and Fabian Cancellara.

This season has been remarkable for Evenepoel, including wins at the Amstel Gold Race, Clásica San Sebastián, and Grand Prix de Québec, alongside a second-place finish behind Tadej Pogacar at the Tour de France.

Meanwhile, Marlen Reusser successfully defended her world time-trial title, winning comfortably despite a strong challenge from Zoe Backstedt. Reusser, who celebrated her 35th birthday, secured victory by 40 seconds over Backstedt, while Franziska Koch claimed third place.

Earlier, Mathieu van der Poel showcased his strength in a solo break during the final stage of the Tour of Luxembourg, setting himself up as a favorite for the upcoming world road race. Van der Poel broke clear early on and maintained his lead to win by more than a minute, while Davide Piganzoli took the overall victory in the tour.
