Remco Evenepoel Aims for Historic Hat-Trick at Cycling World Championships

Belgium's cycling sensation, Remco Evenepoel, is gearing up for a historic hat-trick in the men's time trial at the upcoming Cycling Road World Championships, set to take place in Kigali this Sunday.

Having clinched the title in the previous two championships in Scotland and Zurich, Evenepoel is eager to join the ranks of cycling legends like Michael Rogers, who secured three consecutive titles from 2003 to 2005. His ultimate goal is to edge closer to the record of four titles held jointly by Fabio Cancellara and Tony Martin.

The 25-year-old cyclist expressed his determination to achieve a historic victory on a fast, high-altitude course that offers a mix of challenges, including a cobbled climb to the finish line. Despite minimal time trial bike preparation due to safety concerns, Evenepoel aims to bring his best performance to the African championships.
