Overview

• Starting two and a half minutes behind Tadej Pogacar, Remco Evenepoel caught him late as the Slovenian fell short of a medal by less than two seconds.
• Australia's Jay Vine took silver, and Belgium's Ilan Van Wilder secured bronze by 1.6 seconds.
• The route in Rwanda featured steep climbs, including the cobbled Kimihurura hill, which helped produce the narrow margins.
• The win gives Evenepoel three consecutive time-trial world titles, leaving him one shy of the four-time marks held by Tony Martin and Fabian Cancellara.
• Focus now shifts to the 267km men's road race next Sunday, where Evenepoel chases a double and Pogacar is widely viewed as the favorite.
