The 2025 UCI Road World Championships will close this weekend in Kigali, Rwanda's capital, with the biggest event of the competition: the Elite Road race for men and women. Women will go first on Saturday, with a 164.6 km race, doing 11 laps on a hilly, urban circuit.
Men will go on Sunday, with 267.5 km, 15 laps around the circuit. Tadej Pogačar won last year and is once again favourite this year, after ruling in Tour de France. Remco Evenepoel already took gold in the time trial, and sounds like the other most likely contender for the race...
