Del Toro storms into rainbow contention as Montréal prepares to crown cycling’s new world champions.
The World Championships begin in Montréal with Remco Evenepoel chasing a record fourth consecutive time trial title. Filippo Ganna and Stefan Küng will be his principal challengers, while Marlen Reusser defends the women’s crown.
Isaac del Toro has emerged as a leading road-race contender after defeating Paul Seixas at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal, held on the same circuit as the Worlds. With Tadej Pogačar absent, the battle for the rainbow jersey is wide open.
Australia arrives aiming for a third successive mixed-relay title. Sarah Gigante returns to lead the women, while Michael Matthews, Ben O’Connor and retiring veteran Amanda Spratt spearhead the road-race campaign.
