Pair are first to win Olympics and worlds in same seasonEvenepoel retains crown despite chain dropping off
The double Olympic gold medallist Remco Evenepoel successfully defended the world time trial title he won in last year’s World Road Championships in Glasgow, with victory in this year’s event in Zurich.
The Belgian, who won gold in the men’s road race and time trial at Paris 2024, joined Grace Brown, winner of the women’s Olympic time trial, as the first to hold both Olympic and world time trial titles in the same year, after the Australian had won the women’s “race of truth” earlier on Sunday.
