Belgian Remco Evenepoel retained his title of world time trial champion by beating two Italians, Filippo Ganna and Edoardo Affini, over a 46.1 km course this Sunday, September 22 in Zurich. A big favorite for the event, the Flemish rider became the first rider in history to win the Olympic and world time trial titles in the same year, a feat also achieved a few hours earlier by Australian Grace Brown in the women’s race. It’s crazy, I got back into shape just in time. But it was probably the most complicated time trial of my career. “, commented the Belgian, who just had time to raise his arms on the line crossed with a six-second lead over Ganna, already second at the Paris Olympics.
