YORKSHIRE, GREAT BRITAIN. The Australian Rohan Dennis reissued his individual World Time Trial title on Wednesday that he won in 2018 when he won the test of the World Road Cycling Championships that are being held in Yorkshire (Great Britain) over a 54-kilometer course.
To repeat the gold of Innsbruck-Tirol (Austria), Dennis had to endure the harassment of the young Belgian Remco Evenepoel, one of the most emerging stars of professional cycling and who, with only 19 years old, ended up hanging the silver medal.
However, the victory of the Australian, who made a time of 1 hour, 5 minutes and 5 seconds, was incontestable. Since he surpassed the great Belgian hope, double European champion and junior world champion of 2018 and already European CRI elite champion in 2019, in his first year in 1.08, his first year as a professional.
Another young man, the Italian Filippo Ganna, 23, completed -to 1.55- the podium of a race in which he greatly disappointed the Slovenian Primoz Roglic, winner of the 2019 Tour and the great a priori candidate for gold with Dennis, twelfth in goal. (EFE)
