Evenepoel breaks men's World Champs medal record in Kigali
Remco Evenepoel may not have won the World Championship road race, achieving the longed-for double after his time trial triumph, but his runner-up finish to Tadej Pogačar in Kigali means that he adds a silver medal to his collection, bringing his elite World Championship medal haul up to eight, and becoming the first elite man to do so.
With his third-consecutive TT victory at the start of Worlds week, Evenepoel drew alongside Alejandro Valverde, Tony Martin and Fabian Cancellara who all won seven World Championship medals in their elite careers.
Jeannie Longo is the all-time elite Worlds medal record-holder with 14 across both road (eight) and TT (six) disciplines, winning gold on nine occasions.
Evenepoel's World Championship medal collection:
- Silver in the TT in Harrogate, 2019
- Bronze in the TT in Bruges, 2021
- Bronze in the TT in Wollongong, 2022
- Gold on the road in Wollongong, 2022
- Gold in the TT in Glasgow (Stirling), 2023
- Gold in the TT in Zurich, 2024
- Gold in the TT in Kigali, 2025
- Silver on the road in Kigali, 2025
