In a year packed with crowning achievements, retaining the world championship jersey may have seemed like a bridge too far. But for the Slovenian master, it appears every victory is simply fuel for the inextinguishable fire in his heart. Mont Kigali proved the backdrop to a breakaway for the ages.
He showed why he is currently considered the greatest. Perhaps of all time. And just like it may take a village to raise a champion, so too does it take a groupset that can handle the champion’s power.
Double rainbows in Time Trial and a silver in the Elite Men’s Road Race. Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel has cemented his position as a master of speed. He has eight World Championship medals to his name, breaking the record previously shared by none other than Tony Martin, Alejandro Valverde, and Fabian Cancellara.
The finish to the Kigali-Kigali track was uphill and incredible. For the first iteration of the Women’s U23 Road Race, the French team displayed a masterclass of teamwork to shepherd 19-year-old Célia Gery to the final sprint.
At Shimano, we are proud to support excellence across the board. Demi Vollering finished with another podium spot in two consecutive World Championships at the Elite Women’s Time Trial. While Belgium’s Ilan van Wilder and Australia’s Jay Vine fought their way to podium positions, too. Mavi Garcia from Spain claimed third place in the Elite Women’s Road Race, and shoutout to Megan Arens from the Netherlands for winning the Women’s Junior Time Trial.
