Jakob Söderqvist (Sweden) scorched his way to victory and a first rainbow jersey in the men's under-23 time trial at the 2025 UCI Road World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda, extending his lead throughout the 31.2km course to win by 1:04.
The Swedish rider lived up the his billing as the heavy favourite for Monday's race, and he stamped his authority up the final uphill section, almost doubling his 33-second lead from the third time check to the finish, and on the part of the course which should suit his large frame worst on paper.
