Marlen Reusser Retains World Time Trial Title at the Road World Championships
The Belgian finished 57 seconds ahead of Filippo Ganna and became the first man to win four straight world time-trial titles.
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel won the men's elite individual time trial at the UCI Road World Championships in Montreal, covering the 39.2km course in 44:53 and becoming the first man to claim four consecutive world time-trial titles.
- Italian Filippo Ganna finished runner-up 57 seconds behind Evenepoel, who led through every time-check and equalled the record number of overall time-trial titles held by German Tony Martin and Swiss Fabian Cancellara.
- Paul Seixas, a 19-year-old Frenchman, secured the bronze medal finishing 1:13 behind Evenepoel, while Swede Jakob Soderqvist slid out on a 90-degree corner with under 3km remaining, losing a potential podium spot.
- Many competitors now shift focus to the elite men's road race set for next Sunday, while some riders will compete again on Tuesday in the mixed relay, utilizing intervening days for recovery.
- Evenepoel aims to become the first elite man to win both road race and time-trial titles in the same year, having not lost a time-trial since the 2025 Tour de France.
