Overview
- Noval first won the junior individual time trial at the Montreal worlds and then took the junior road race to complete the rare double of both world titles.
- Spain protected Noval by placing riders in early breakaways so he did not have to chase and could conserve energy for his late moves.
- Noval made progressive, decisive moves late in the race by joining a chasing group about 46 km from the finish, bridging to the leaders around 38 km out, and launching the final winning attack with roughly 28 km remaining.
- He rode clear to the finish and crossed the line with a large margin that reports put at more than 40 seconds over his rivals.
- The 17‑year‑old Asturian known as 'el jabalí de Laviana' will join Netcompany Ineos next season and his double has drawn direct comparison with Remco Evenepoel’s 2018 junior feat while prompting celebrations in his hometown.
