Evenepoel is chasing a fourth straight Worlds ITT title, something no man has done. He still thinks Montreal's 39.2km course, almost entirely flat until a 400m ramp at the finish, is too short — organisers "could have made it a slightly longer distance."
He's not hedging: Evenepoel won all three individual time trials he started in 2026 before Montreal. A longer, flatter course plays into the hands of Filippo Ganna and Stefan Küng, but Evenepoel points to closing a 15-second gap on the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal's uphill finale as proof he can still find time when there's more distance to cover.
