The men's peloton advances on Sunday towards a 273.7 km course in Montreal, with a final hilly circuit taken 12 times.
What you need to know
In the absence of Tadej Pogacar, all dreams are allowed. Double title holder but withdrawn since his fall in the Vuelta, the Slovenian leaves the field open in the world cycling championships, Sunday September 27, in Montreal (from 3 p.m., also to follow on france.tv). With a tiring course of more than 270 km, including 12 laps of the final circuit with three listed difficulties, the expected profile of the future world champion is that of a puncher-climber, capable of swallowing the difficulties of the day, like Demi Vollering during the women's race on Saturday, which ended with the same podium as that of the last Tour de France.
Remco Evenepoel is aiming for an unprecedented double. Now a quadruple time trial world champion, Remco Evenepoel could become the first rider in history to win the time trial and the road race in the same edition of the Worlds. Second last year in Kigali, the Belgian, 2022 world champion, is the big favorite and dreams of imitating Eddy Merckx, winner in Montreal of his third and last world champion title, fifty-two years ago. His teammate Wout Van Aert, with whom cohabitation has not always been easy, however, has the same ambition.
Paul Seixas doesn't talk about age. Five years after Julian Alaphilippe's second world title, another Frenchman is a declared candidate for the rainbow jersey: Paul Seixas. At barely 20 years old (he celebrated them on Thursday), the fourth in the last Tour de France is one of the main candidates for the iridescent jersey. In the event of victory, the tricolor prodigy would quite simply be the youngest world champion in history. To do this, he will be surrounded by a French team totally dedicated to his cause.
Watch out for the flying Mexican. If collectives like the Netherlands, Italy or the United States will be worth watching, single men can shine, like the Briton Tom Pidcock, but especially the Mexican Isaac Del Toro. Winner of the Montreal GP ahead of Seixas two weeks ago, he arrives at the head of a very modest Mexican selection. A free electron, he was designated by Evenepoel as his main opponent.

The race capsizes again! Brandon McNulty explodes in the Camillien-Houde hill and loses more than a minute. He almost no longer has a lead, the group of favorites including Paul Seixas returning to the race.

With Quinn Simmons and Matteo Jorgenson, Brandon McNulty has two compatriots in the chasing group to torpedo any comeback attempt. It's working for the moment, the Americans are implementing their plan perfectly.

This is unbearable, ladies and gentlemen. Whatever the outcome, we will long remember this 2026 World Cup, even crazier than the women's one yesterday, which set the bar very, very high.

Coming back from nowhere into the hunting group, Remco Evenepoel is indestructible. Better: the Belgian counters and leaves, alone, in pursuit of Brandon McNulty!
