Hello everyone!
Thank you for following the World Cycling Championships online on Le Parisien. The runners are expected in Zurich, Switzerland, after 273.9 km!
List
Pogacar and Evenepoel unbeatable?
- The road race for the world cycling championship starts this morning. The runners are set near Zurich and will cover 273.9 km.
- The big favorite of the day is Tadej Pogacar, whose world championship title is still missing from the list. The Slovenian has little competition on this hilly course.
- The only rival who has been able to steal the crown appears to be Belgian Remco Evenepoel. Crowned in 2022, he won the time trial last week, as in 2023. He is also a double gold medalist from the 2024 Paris Games.
- Yesterday, Belgian Lotte Kopecky won the women’s competition. So he retained his title because he had won the event last year in Glasgow.
