  • Remco Evenepoel claimed silver after rebounding from an early slump and a bike issue, with Ben Healy taking bronze.
  • The Kigali route spanned about 267.5 kilometers with roughly 5,000–5,475 meters of climbing, including Monte Kigali ramps near 20 percent.
  • UAE teammates Juan Ayuso and Isaac del Toro worked with Pogačar at the front for more than 30 kilometers before he accelerated clear around 66–67 kilometers from the finish.
  • Del Toro crossed in seventh at +6:47 for Mexico’s best elite road race result, following his fifth place in the World Championships time trial.
