Overview

• Tadej Pogačar attacked around 104–105 km from the finish on the Muro de Kigali and held a long solo lead to win, with Remco Evenepoel second and Ben Healy third.
• Isaac del Toro finished seventh, the highest placing ever by a Mexican in the elite men’s road race and the only Latin American in the top 10.
• The 21-year-old added fifth in the time trial, closing his Worlds with two top-10 results during a breakout season.
• Del Toro helped form a select move with Pogačar and Juan Ayuso for more than 30 kilometers before dropping back, later denying he intentionally rode to aid his trade teammate.
• He reported stomach problems that blunted his late efforts on a 267.5 km route with roughly 5,400+ meters of climbing that only about 30 riders completed.
