Overview

• Tadej Pogacar won the men’s road race in Kigali, with Remco Evenepoel second at 1:28 and Ben Healy third at 2:16.
• The Slovenian attacked on Mount Kigali roughly 104 km from the finish and completed the final 66 km alone to secure the win.
• Evenepoel’s chase was disrupted by a saddle failure and two bike changes before he consolidated the silver medal.
• The 267.5 km course featured roughly 5,500–6,100 meters of climbing at altitude, creating a selective race from long range.
• Earlier in the week Evenepoel took the time-trial world title, beating Pogacar by 2 minutes 37 seconds, while Italy’s Giulio Ciccone finished sixth after his team faded late.
