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 Double title holder but withdrawn since his fall in the Vuelta, the Slovenian leaves the field open in the world cycling championships, Sunday September 27, in Montreal (from 3 p.m., also to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.

What does the final circuit look like?
The Côte Camillien-Houde (1.6 km at 7.5% average) will be the main difficulty of the day for the runners. But the circuit will include three other steep slopes: Chemin de la Polytechnique (780 m at 6%, including 200 m at 11%), Avenue Pagnuelo (534 m at 7.5% average) and Avenue du Parc to finish (around 600 m at 4%).
All on a 13.4 km loop around Mount Royal, taken 12 times. 3,803 meters of positive altitude difference await the runners, which brings this edition closer to a Liège-Bastogne-Liège, and which explains why the grand tour runners are favorites.

Isaac Del Toro is putting Paul Seixas and the other favorites back in play, around thirty seconds behind the leading quartet. It gets complicated, however, for the Belgians, with Wout van Aert and Remco Evenepoel suffering the blow.

The Slovak masseur was left behind at the entrance to Montreal, and quickly fell behind. But it is far from being the only one in this case. In any case, we haven't talked so much about a Slovak at the World Cup since Peter Sagan!

Primoz Roglic left the chasing trio to join the leading trio, where Mathieu van der Poel did not spare himself. Behind, the other favorites are waiting for reinforcements to try to put out the fire.

The group of favorites should return, since Remco Evenepoel no longer has any reason not to collaborate, now that Wout van Aert is no longer in the lead. The question is: at what cost?

Do you think the breakaway will go to the end, or given the difficulty of the course and the number of kilometers to cover, will it be complicated?

Mathieu van der Poel's attack! The Dutchman senses the other favorites coming back, and pulls the pin. Oscar Onley and Quinn Simmons are the only ones who can follow him.
