Marlen Reusser Retains World Time Trial Title at the Road World Championships
Reusser beat Zoe Backstedt by 40 seconds and Franziska Koch by 45.54 seconds to claim her second straight elite women’s time-trial crown.
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, Remco Evenepoel won the men's elite individual time trial in Montreal, covering the 39.2km course in 44:53 to finish 57 seconds ahead of Filippo Ganna and claim his fourth consecutive world title.
- The 39.2km course featured a series of tricky 90-degree corners and segments of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, with an uphill finish in Old Montreal testing rider handling before a steep final climb.
- Filippo Ganna finished runner-up 57 seconds behind, while 19-year-old Paul Seixas secured bronze 1:13 back; a crash on a 90-degree corner near the finish cost Jakob Soderqvist a potential podium spot.
- With this fourth consecutive victory, Evenepoel equals the record number of overall world time-trial titles held by German Tony Martin and Swiss Fabian Cancellara, cementing his status as the sport's modern benchmark.
- The Belgian eyes the road race next Sunday, aiming to become the first man to win both the time-trial and road-race world titles in the same year.
