Remco Evenepoel and Wout van Aert will lead Belgium at the road cycling world championships in Montreal from Sept. 20 to 27.
The pair rank among the favorites for the road race, with Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar absent after a crash in the Vuelta a España. Belgium’s men’s team also includes Tiesj Benoot, Quinten Hermans, Thibau Nys, Alec Segaert, Maxim Van Gils and Giannis Vermeersch.
Evenepoel, Segaert and Rune Herregodts will represent Belgium in the time trial on Sept. 20. Evenepoel is aiming for a fourth consecutive world title in that event.
Lotte Kopecky, the world champion in 2023 and 2024, heads Belgium’s women’s selection. Shari Bossuyt, Lotte Claes, Justine Ghekiere, Julie Van De Velde and Margot Vanpachtenbeke will also compete for Belgium.
