Remco Evenepoel Makes Olympic History with Road Race and Time Trial Golds

The Belgian cyclist overcomes a late puncture to secure his second gold medal at Paris 2024, becoming the first to win both events at the same Olympics.

Evenepoel's victory in the men's road race follows his gold in the men's time trial, a week earlier.
He faced a dramatic puncture 3.8 kilometers from the finish but managed a quick bike swap to maintain his lead.
The race's 273km course was the longest in Olympic history, starting at the Trocadéro and ending near the Eiffel Tower.
France's Valentin Madouas and Christophe Laporte took silver and bronze, marking France's first medals in the event in 68 years.
British cyclist Tom Pidcock, who won gold in mountain biking earlier in the week, finished 13th due to mental exhaustion.
