Remco Evenepoel won the men’s elite time trial at the 2026 UCI Road World Championships in Montréal on September 20, the first rider to take the title in four successive editions. He covered the 39.2km course in 44:53.13, 57 seconds ahead of Filippo Ganna, with Paul Seixas third, according to the UCI.
The next elite time trials are on September 1, 2027, around Lake Annecy, part of the 2027 UCI Cycling World Championships in Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc, France. No odds for that race are quoted on this page yet.
Montréal 2026
Evenepoel started last of 60 riders and had the best time at every checkpoint. Ganna’s second place repeated his finish in 2023 and 2024. Seixas took bronze four days before his 20th birthday, the UCI reported, and Jakob Söderqvist, the 2025 under-23 champion, dropped to fifth after crashing in a curve.
The women’s title went to Marlen Reusser of Switzerland on the same course, ahead of Zoe Bäckstedt and Franziska Koch.
Men’s elite time trial winners
| Year | Host | Gold | Silver | Bronze |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Montréal, Canada | Remco Evenepoel | Filippo Ganna | Paul Seixas |
| 2025 | Kigali, Rwanda | Remco Evenepoel | Jay Vine | Ilan Van Wilder |
| 2024 | Zürich, Switzerland | Remco Evenepoel | Filippo Ganna | Edoardo Affini |
Before Evenepoel’s run, three straight titles had been done twice: by Michael Rogers from 2003 to 2005 and Tony Martin from 2011 to 2013. The 2025 course in Kigali was 40.6km with 680 metres of climbing, and Evenepoel won it by 1:14 from Vine.
How this page’s 2024 picks did
This page first previewed the Zürich race of September 22, 2024, a 46.1km course. Its bets, quoted as published:
| Bet, as published | Result |
|---|---|
| Remco Evenepoel to win (-225) | Won |
| Primoz Roglic top 3: Yes (+175) | Lost: the podium was Evenepoel, Ganna and Affini |
| Tobias Foss top 10 (+100) | Not graded here |
| Jay Vine (-138) to finish ahead of Ben Healy | Not graded here |
The last two are left ungraded because the full classification could not be checked against an official source. The -225 on Evenepoel implied a 69.2% chance; he has not lost the race since.
