It was an unexpected and heavy blow for Slovenia's Tadej Pogačar, who struggled through the elite men's individual time trial and was caught on the final climb by three-time winner from Belgium Remco Evenepoel on Sunday in Kigali, Rwanda.
All eyes were on the rivalry between the two powerful riders ahead of this event, but it was Pogačar who appeared to suffer through the opening checkpoints, losing time to Evenepoel and his other competitors at each mark of the challenging parcours that finished at the Kigali Convention Centre.
