Pogacar Retains World Road Title With 100km Solo Strike in Kigali

The victory answered his time-trial setback to Remco Evenepoel earlier in the week.

Overview

  • The Slovenian launched his winning move roughly 100 kilometers from the finish, riding clear alone.
  • Remco Evenepoel closed best of the rest to claim silver, extending their headline rivalry.
  • The 270-kilometre Kigali route with 2,475 metres of elevation and heavy humidity punished the field.
  • The long-range tactic echoed his 2024 Worlds triumph in Zurich, once again deciding the race early.
  • He will wear the rainbow jersey for a second straight season with UAE Team Emirates after a display widely described as dominant.
