Road World Championships 2022 - Rider ratings: Remco Evenepoel leads Filippo Ganna in time trial field

Ad That leaves the door open for his compatriot, Remco Evenepoel, who will look to add a rainbow jersey to the red one he acquired last Sunday in Madrid. World ChampionshipsRoad World Championships: How to watch, full schedule and timesAN HOUR AGO The 17.1km circuit (which just as in the women's race, will be tackled twice) is far from pan-flat, so may suit a climber slightly more than a true specialist but there are no riders among the favourites who can't handle what the course can throw at it.

Ultimately the rainbow jersey and the medals will be decided by form. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — REMCO EVENEPOEL Only one rider is worthy of the five star treatment, and that is the name that has been on our lips for most of the last month — and likely will be for many years to come.

Finishing more than 40 seconds ahead of closest rival, Primoz Roglic, Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) was in a class of his own in the Vuelta time trial in Alicante, and there’s every reason to believe he will have retained the form, the impetus and the confidence necessary to take his first set of rainbow jerseys, a week after his first Grand Tour title.
