Isaac del Toro beat Paul Seixas in an uphill sprint to win the GP de Montreal. That matters more than Remco Evenepoel's Quebec win days earlier, because Montreal's circuit is the one Worlds will actually use.
The Montreal course was adjusted for 2026 to closely mirror the World Championships road race loop, run on the same Camillien-Houde and Polytechnique climbs the rainbow jersey will be decided on September 27. Evenepoel had been favored going in, but del Toro — fresh off winning the Deutschland Tour — is now the most recent winner on that exact terrain. Evenepoel still owns the form narrative after Quebec; del Toro owns the course.
