UCI Track World Championships 2026 Womens Points RaceSunday 18 October Shanghai Velodrome, ChinaLara Gillespie world champion 42 points23 starters 25km 100 laps 10 sprints Gillespies second world titleLara Gillespie is a world champion again. The Wicklow rider won the points race at the UCI Track World Championships in Shanghai on Sunday, adding a second rainbow jersey to the elimination title she won in Chile last year.Four days earlier she had lost the scratch title to Lorena Wiebes on a photo finish. This time nobody could match her. Gillespie finished on 42 points, five clear of Denmarks Amalie Dideriksen on 37. Belgiums Shari Bossuyt was third with 35.Photos: SWpixHow the race was wonThe 25km final ran over 100 laps, with a sprint every ten laps paying 5, 3, 2 and 1 points, and double for the last one. Gillespie won the second sprint, and the fifth, to sit in a strong position at halfway. Gillespie, Dideriksen and Bossuyt each gained a lap on the bunch, worth 20 points apiece, and nobody else did it without losing the lap again. That made it a three-rider race for the medals.From there Gillespie stayed on the scoresheet. She was second in sprints seven and nine, and second again in the double-points final sprint, behind Mexicos Yareli Acevedo Mendoza, for six more points. That gave her 42: 22 from the sprints and 20 from the lap. Dideriksen scored 17 from the sprints, including two wins, and Bossuyt 15, also with two wins, but neither could close the gap.The race was run at an average of 50.364 km/h. Twenty-three riders started and 20 finished. Acevedo Mendoza was fourth on 13 points, ahead of the Netherlands Sofie van Rooijen.Its all sinking in now. Im just so happy I could pull this off, Gillespie said. I came really close the other day and I think that really just pushed me on there today because I was really annoyed with that second place.Overall a really good week and I really just cant thank Cycling Ireland and Sport Ireland enough for all the support over the last few years and all the people back home who are getting those key sessions in with me, helping me get fast for the track, so I really just want to say thank you to everyone.Photos: SWpixWomens Points Race Result25km 100 laps 10 sprints 29:47 50.364 km/h1Lara GILLESPIE 52Ireland +1 lap42 pts 2Amalie DIDERIKSEN 45Denmark +1 lap37 pts 3Shari BOSSUYT 41Belgium +1 lap35 pts 4Yareli ACEVEDO MENDOZA 28Mexico13 pts5Sofie VAN ROOIJEN 147Netherlands10 pts6Anna HICKS 179United States +1 / 1 lap9 pts7Lisa KLEIN 111Germany8 pts8Erin BOOTHMAN 49Great Britain7 pts9Aline SEITZ 59Switzerland4 pts10Marion BORRAS 96France4 pts11Bryony BOTHA 57New Zealand2 pts12Rachele BARBIERI 23Italy2 pts13Daniela CAMPOS 32Portugal0 pts14Anita Yvonne STENBERG 56Norway0 pts15Sophie EDWARDS 63Australia 1 lap-16 pts16Wing Yee LEUNG 20Hong Kong 1 lap-20 pts17Yumi KAJIHARA 26Japan 1 lap-20 pts18Suwan WEI 43China 2 laps-37 pts19Eva ANGUELA YAGUEZ 47Spain 2 laps-40 pts20Vendula STRAKATA 10Czechia 2 laps-40 ptsDNFAlexi RAMIREZ 38Trinidad and Tobago 2 lapsDNFDNFZAYED AHMED MOHAMED 46Egypt 3 lapsDNFDNFNafosat KOZIEVA 61Uzbekistan 2 lapsDNFIRLHow Gillespie scored her 42 pointsSprints 5-3-2-1 final sprint double lap gained +20S2Sprint 2winner+5S5Sprint 5winner+5S7Sprint 72nd+3S9Sprint 92nd+3S10Sprint 102nd double points+6LapLap gained20 points+20Total22 sprint points + 20 lap points42Two medals in ShanghaiGillespie leaves China with gold and silver.

Portugals Maria Martins was third. It was another close finish between Gillespie and Wiebes, who beat her on all three stages of the Tour of Chongming Island on Sunday.Photos: SWpixHow the scratch was wonThe 40-lap race came alive in the closing laps. Valentine Fortin of France attacked with seven laps to go, and Wiebes went straight after her. Gillespie closed the move down and brought the bunch back together.Wiebes went again with two laps to go. Gillespie and Martins went with her, and the three came to the line together. Wiebes got her wheel in front at the finish line, with Gillespie a fraction behind in second. Italys Martina Fidanza was fourth. Fortin finished 23rd, and European champion Hlne Hesters was 21st. Martins got a warning from the commissaires for dangerous riding during the race.I wouldnt normally say Scratch is my favourite race but Im really proud of how I rode today, representing Ireland as best I could, Gillespie said.Of course it was so close and I dont think Ive ever been so angry to take silver at a World Championships, but I think I can be proud of how I raced.

Five of the seven are bunch races, where tactics, positioning and a fast finish matter as much as raw power; the other two are races against the clock.Scratch Lara GillespieThe simplest bunch race on the track. Everyone starts together and the first rider across the line at the end of the final lap wins. The final is 40 laps (10km), with the bell rung for the last lap.There are no points and no intermediate sprints, but laps count: a rider or group who breaks clear and catches the back of the bunch has gained a lap, and is placed ahead of every rider they lapped, whoever wins the final sprint. That leaves two ways to win. Attack early and try to gain a lap, or sit in, save energy and back yourself in the sprint. Gillespie, a fast finisher, will want it to come down to the line, and so will Lorena Wiebes.If more than 24 riders enter, there are 7.5km qualifying heats first. Wednesdays field is exactly 24, so it goes straight to the final.Points race Lara GillespieA bunch race decided by points rather than by who crosses the line first. The final is 25km, 100 laps, with a sprint every ten laps, which makes ten sprints in all. Each intermediate sprint pays 5, 3, 2 and 1 point to the first four riders; the final sprint pays double, 10, 6, 4 and 2.The big swings come from laps. Gaining a lap on the bunch is worth 20 points, and being lapped costs 20, so a well-timed attack can be worth more than winning several sprints. If riders finish level on points, the final sprint decides it. It is a race of constant calculation, and riders and coaches track the scores lap by lap.Elimination Aoife OBrienOften called devil take the hindmost. After a neutral start, the last rider across the line every two laps is eliminated and pulled out, judged on the back wheel. It carries on until two riders are left, and they sprint for the title.Positioning is everything. Sitting near the front is safe but costs energy in the wind; drifting to the back risks being caught out by a sudden surge. The best elimination riders read the race and move up just before each sprint. If the field is too big, riders first qualify through 7.5km scratch heats.Omnium Lara GillespieFour bunch races in one day, the decathlon of track endurance racing. In order:Scratch (10km): first over the line wins, as above.Tempo race (10km): from the fifth lap onwards, one point goes to the first rider across the line on every lap, and gaining a lap is worth 20. It rewards riders who are active at the front all race.Elimination: as above, last rider out every two laps.Points race (20km): the finale, scored as above.The first three races award omnium points by finishing position: 40 for the winner, 38 for second, 36 for third, dropping by two a place. Riders carry that total into the points race, where every sprint point and every lap gained or lost is added on or taken off. The highest total wins the title. The omnium often stays open until the last laps, because a single lap gained in the points race can wipe out a 20-point deficit. Gillespie took silver in the omnium at the 3 Days of Aigle last week.Kilo time trial Emma JeffersOne rider, one kilometre, four laps from a standing start, held in the start gate until the countdown ends. It is a flat-out effort of a little over a minute, with no tactics, no drafting and nowhere to hide. Getting the bike up to speed from a standstill is half the race.Every rider sets a time in qualifying, and the eight fastest go through to the final later the same day to ride again for the medals, with the fastest qualifier going last.Individual pursuit Fiona ManganTwo riders start at the same time on opposite sides of the track, half a lap apart, and chase each other over the set distance. It is a test of pacing as much as power: go out too hard and the last laps are brutal.Qualifying is about the clock, not the rider across the track. The two fastest qualifiers meet in the gold-medal final and the third and fourth fastest ride for bronze, both later the same day. In any ride, catching your opponent ends the race.Team pursuit Mangan, Jeffers, OBrien, WongThe team version: four riders over 4km, 16 laps, starting on opposite sides of the track from their opponents. They ride in a tight line and take turns on the front, peeling up the banking and dropping back onto the rear wheel after each turn. The clock stops when the third rider crosses the line, so one rider can be used up and dropped in the closing laps.Every team rides qualifying alone against the clock. The eight fastest go into the first round, ridden head to head the next day, and the fastest teams from that round contest the gold and bronze finals later the same evening. Ireland have exactly four riders for the event, so there is no fresh rider to rotate in between rounds.Photos: SWpixThe post Lara Gillespie takes world silver in scratch as Wiebes wins by a photo finish in Shanghai appeared first on Irish Cycling News.

Il Lombardia 2026 ResultSaturday 10 October Bergamo Como 239kmPaul Seixas wins solo 5:49:28 41.033km/hBen Healy 12th at 1:20 Eddie Dunbar DNF 114 of 174 finishedPaul Seixas won the 120th Il Lombardia alone in Como on Saturday, attacking on Civiglio with 18 kilometres to go and holding off Enric Mas by 48 seconds. At 20 years and 16 days, the Frenchman is the youngest winner in the races history.He takes the record from Giovanni Gerbi, who won the very first edition in 1905 aged 20 years, five months and eight days. Only three riders have won a Monument younger Victor Fastr and Georges Ronsse at LigeBastogneLige and Rik Van Steenbergen at the Tour of Flanders, all Belgians.Giulio Ciccone took third at 1:05, his second podium in six days after European Championship silver in enur. Remco Evenepoel won the sprint for fourth from the chasing group at 1:20, with Brandon McNulty fifth on the same time.Seixas is the first French winner of Lombardia since Thibaut Pinot in 2018, and the first Frenchman to win any Monument since Julian Alaphilippe at MilanSan Remo in 2019. It is also the first Monument for Decathlon CMA CGM in the teams 34-year history.How it was wonThe race went from the gun at 11:15 with 174 starters. Fourteen riders built the days break on and after the Selvino: Michael Leonard, Maxime Decomble, Ben OConnor, Andrea Mifsud and Johannes Kulset went at 29km, Antonio Tiberi, George Bennett, Sylvain Moniquet, Fausto Masnada, Pau Mart and Gijs Leemreize joined them at 32km, Louis Vervaeke at 38km, and Julien Bernard and Victor Campenaerts at 47km. Their lead peaked at 2:46 at 105km.The Madonna del Ghisallo, which starts at 170km, split the break. Eight were left at the front, and Moniquet led them over the chapel at the summit. Behind, McNulty, Quinn Simmons, Matteo Jorgenson and Christian Scaroni went clear of the bunch near the top and crossed 47 seconds down, picking up Masnada on the way. They were caught at 198km.The break still had 1:05 with 37 kilometres to go, but that came down quickly on the finishing circuit. It was 46 seconds on the first ascent of San Fermo della Battaglia and 23 seconds with 20km to go, and the last of the escapees were caught at 220km.Civiglio decided it, as the route suggested it might: 4.2 kilometres at 9.7%, the hardest climb on the circuit. Seixas had planned to attack there but went earlier than intended, about two kilometres up, because the pace was lower than he expected. At the summit, 222km, he led Ciccone and Mas by 23 seconds, with Pidcock and Filippo Zana at 38 seconds and Evenepoels group at 50.The gap grew all the way to the line. It was 38 seconds with eight kilometres left. Soon after, Mas, wary of Ciccones sprint, attacked him and went on alone; Ciccone rode the finale on his own for third. Mas was 46 seconds down at the flamme rouge and 48 at the finish. The chasing group of nine came in at 1:20, where Evenepoel led McNulty, Pidcock, Pello Bilbao, Scaroni, Zana, Mathys Rondel and Ramses Debruyne home, with Ben Healy 12th.It was a race of attrition: only 114 of the 174 starters finished.What they saidThe plan was to attack on Civiglio, I just did it a bit before I wanted to, only 2km after the start of the climb, because I expected a higher pace, Seixas said. I was hoping to crest in first position with at least 15 seconds lead so nobody could catch me. I knew the rest of the course was nice for one man solo. It was exactly the type of effort I could manage alone. I didnt take any risk in the downhill.Its beautiful and crazy to win a Monument. I dont really care about being the youngest winner, I just care about winning. I hope itll be inspiring for young riders from my country as much as Thibaut Pinots win eight years ago was inspiring for me. I skipped the European championships because I wanted to win here. It makes it an awesome second pro season.Mas, who won the Vuelta a Espaa a month ago, matched his second place here in 2022. Today, Paul was stronger than us, he said. I knew Giulio Ciccone was a very fast rider in the sprint so I had to attack him. The world championships were a disaster for me but I recovered. I felt better at the Tre Valli Varesine so I came to Il Lombardia with confidence.Ciccone, third here for the second time after 2024, admitted he paid for trying to go with Seixas. I was suffering a lot on the second last climb, he said. Paul Seixas rode super fast up Civiglio and I made a small mistake to try and follow him. Hes super strong. The way he won this Monument, he deserves it. Its my third podium in a Monument, my second here. The first place would have been better but I can be happy.By the numbersSeixas is the 80th different winner in 120 editions, and was the youngest rider on the start line.France now has 13 Lombardia wins from ten riders Garrigou, Plissier, Bobet, Darrigade, Hinault, Mottet, Delion, Jalabert, Pinot and Seixas.Dorian Godon won GranPiemonte this week, making it only the second year French riders have won both races, after Christian Jourdan and Bernard Hinault.Sylvain Moniquet took the Pier Luigi Todisco award, presented by La Gazzetta dello Sport, for being first over the Madonna del Ghisallo.Next: the Roc dAzurSeixas is not finished yet. Less than 24 hours after his win in Como he swaps to a mountain bike for the 55km Roc dAzur in Frjus on Sunday morning, starting at 08:15 (07:15 Irish time), the last race of his season. Bruno Armirail, the European time trial silver medallist, is also entered.Irish ridersBen Healy finished 12th, in the chasing group that came in 1:20 behind Seixas. He followed the favourites across the Ghisallo and onto the finishing circuit, and stayed with them over Civiglio and San Fermo.Eddie Dunbar did not finish. He was one of 60 riders to abandon, among them his Pinarello-Q36.5 teammates Marcel Camprub, Mark Donovan and Quinten Hermans.IRLIrish RidersIl Lombardia 202612Ben HEALY (61)EF

Tour of Chongming Island 2026 Final911 October Chongming Island, Shanghai, China UCI Womens WorldTourLara Gillespie second overall at 15 seconds 3rd, 2nd, 2nd on the stagesLorena Wiebes wins all three stages and the overall Marine Lenehan 44thIrishFinal GCPointsStage 3Stage 2Stage 1Lara Gillespie finished second overall at the Tour of Chongming Island on Sunday, 15 seconds behind Lorena Wiebes, after three days in which the Irishwoman was the only rider able to stay with the Dutch sprinter at the line. Marine Lenehan, Irelands other rider in the race, finished all three stages for Lidl-Trek.Wiebes won all three stages and the overall classification. Gillespie, riding for UAE Team LImad, was third on the opening stage and second on each of the next two, and her finishing bonuses lifted her to the runner-up spot ahead of Lidl-Treks Clara Copponi, who was third at 26 seconds. Gillespie was also second in the points classification, 41 points to Wiebes 52.How the race wentStage 1, 110.4km of laps around the south of the island finishing at Chongming New City Park, came down to a bunch sprint after Ruby Roseman-Gannon of Liv AlUla Jayco was reeled in from a late move inside the last six kilometres. Gillespie got in between Wiebes and her lead-out rider, Barbara Guarischi, but Wiebes came round her to win from Copponi, with Gillespie third. It was Wiebes 21st win of the season. Marine Lenehan finished 40th in the bunch on the same time. Gillespie ended the day third overall, seven seconds down; Lenehan was 41st at 13 seconds.Stage 2, 129.4km from Changxing to Chongming, was busier. Attacks came steadily through the last 50 kilometres and a strong group opened a gap inside the final 30, but it was back with 15 kilometres to go. Wiebes was boxed in as the sprint opened and had to work her way clear, and when she did Gillespie was alongside her. The two went side by side to the line, Wiebes just holding her off, with Maggie Coles-Lyster third. Gillespie moved up to second overall, 11 seconds down. Lenehan was 44th on the stage, in the bunch, and 45th overall at 26 seconds.Stage 3, a final 108.6km circuit on Sunday, ended the same way: Wiebes first, Gillespie second, with Tang Xin of the Chinese national team third. Wiebes winning bonus stretched her overall lead to 15 seconds, and Gillespies second place secured her the runner-up spot. Lenehan finished 45th in the bunch to end the race 44th overall at 36 seconds.The field was smaller than planned. Five teams withdrew in September after the UCI dropped the requirement for WorldTour teams to take part, and 65 riders finished the race.Irish ridersIRLIrish Riders Final StandingsTour of Chongming

UCI Gravel World Championships Day OneSaturday 10 October Nannup, Western AustraliaElite women and age-group world titlesElite men and the mens 1949 age groups still to raceDes Woods came within two and a half minutes of a world medal on the opening day of the UCI Gravel World Championships in Nannup, finishing fourth in the mens 6064 race, while Marianne Vos won the elite womens title.Woods finished 5:16 behind Australias Tim Jamieson, who took the rainbow jersey on the same time as his compatriot Richard Walsh. Michael Buser of Switzerland took bronze at 2:32 ahead of the Irishman. Michael Jordan was 14th in the same race from 60 finishers.Richard McCauley was seventh of 59 in the mens 5559, and Maria Ludden ninth of 16 in the womens 4044.In the elite womens race Gabrielle Fox finished 29th and Nicole Schafer 34th, 36:13 and 39:04 behind the winner, from 46 finishers.That was bloody hard! said Fox, who survived two small spills on the way round. The race was not too technical gravel in Europe and Ireland is more difficult. The pace the elite climb at is hard! I need to find a few extra watts per kilo for next year.With 3,200 metres of climbing in her legs, she thanked everyone at home for their support, and Simon Ryan and Sinead, who between them covered team manager, mechanic, first aid and soigneur. I hope I did the Irish jersey proud.Vos took her second gravel world title, four years after winning the first one in 2022, finishing alone in 4:30:04. Rosa Klser was second at 27 seconds, with Larissa Hartog third at 2:15 after outsprinting Nele Laing for the last podium place.Ireland has two more riders still to race: Nicholas Roche in the mens 4044, and Alexis Roche in the mens 1934.IRLIrish Results Day OnePosition in category gap to the winner4Des WOODSMen 6064 4th of 60+5:167Richard McCAULEYMen 5559 7th of 59+13:529Maria LUDDENWomen 4044 9th of 16+32:1014Michael JORDANMen 6064 14th of 60+23:5329Gabrielle FOXElite Women 29th of 46+36:1334Nicole SCHAFERElite Women 34th of 46+39:04Elite WomenWEResult Elite WomenSat 10 October 2026 Nannup, Western Australia 46 finishers, 4 DNF1Marianne VOS (4) 4:30:042Rosa KLSER (13) +273Larissa HARTOG (5) +2:154Nele LAING (8)+2:155Erica MAGNALDI (18)+4:176Sofia GOMEZ VILLAFANE (37)+5:157Irina LUETZELSCHWAB (19)+5:288Tiffany CROMWELL (11)+7:159Elisa SERN (7)+7:1510Haley SMITH (35)+8:5511Carolin SCHIFF (10)+9:0212Nicole FRAIN (3)+9:2213Wendy OOSTERWOUD (1)+9:3314Maria LAURIE (29)+11:2815Joyce VANDERBEKEN (62)+13:4916Janni SPANGSBERG (61)+17:3317Sophie WRIGHT (6)+20:4918Kaitlyn RAUWERDA (50)+20:4919Elizabeth HERMOLLE (15)+20:5120Jade TREFFEISEN (14)+23:4621Flora JOHNSON (44)+27:0622Madeleine NUTT (24)+27:4723Theresa RINDLER-BACHL (25)+31:1424Francesca SEAL (40)+33:4325Hanna JOHANSSON (33)+35:5226Holly HENRY (47)+35:5427Ella BLOOR (42)+36:1328Karoline Risager SCHMIDT (51)+36:1329Gabrielle FOX (52)+36:1330Victoria Rose Channing BARRY (49)+37:3031Peta MULLENS (59)+37:5332Sophie BYRNE (30)+38:3133Holly HARRIS (36)+38:4334Nicole SCHAFER (57)+39:0435Anet BARRERA ESPARZA (34)+39:3136Dylan BAKER (23)+40:1637Hayley SIMMONDS (21)+40:5938Sarah DIEKMEYER (26)+42:3439Laetitia BILODEAU (43)+44:3540Shuwei HSU (38)+45:5441Fiona MORRIS (60)+48:4742Kate BONNER (55)+77:4343Yuki KATAOKA (41)+85:2344Andrea LOZA FIOL (48)+99:0245Mutsumi HARA (58)+107:5546Chiharu UKAI (45)+120:19Geerike SCHREURS (16)DNFshleigh MOOLMAN-PASIO (22)DNFSharlotte LUCAS (32)DNFPamela MARTINO (56)DNFResults: UCI Gravel World Championships official results (Idle Timing).

Il Lombardia 2026 120th EditionSaturday 10 October Bergamo Como 239kmThe last Monument of the season 175 riders, 25 teams, nine categorised summitsBen Healy is the only Irish rider enteredRouteIrish InterestThe ContendersEntry ListThe seasons last Monument runs from Bergamo to Como on Saturday, 239 kilometres across the Lombard Prealps with nine summits and a finishing circuit that climbs twice in the last 27 kilometres. Ben Healy is the one Irish name among the 175 entered.The 120th Lombardia takes the Bergamo start and the Como finish, the direction the race has used in alternate years, and stacks the hard climbing into the two ends. The first 90 kilometres contain four summits in quick succession; the last 27 contain three.Between them is a long middle that is far from flat. Colle Brianza comes at 138km by its Giovenzana side 3.6km at 9.2% with a maximum of 16%, the steepest pitch on the whole route and the Madonna del Ghisallo, the races signature climb, tops out at 753 metres with 60 kilometres still to ride. The Ghisallo is 8.6km at 6.2% from the Bellagio turn, but the number flatters it: the first 2.2km average 9.3% and the last 1.8km 8.6%, with a flat kilometre in the middle doing the averaging.From the Ghisallo the race drops fast to Maglio and runs downhill to Como, where it picks up a 22km finishing loop. The riders cross the line at 217km, take San Fermo della Battaglia, come back through Como, and roughly a kilometre later start Civiglio 4.2km at 9.7%, maximum 14%, with a marked narrowing of the road at the top. Then back down into Como and up San Fermo for the second time, 2.7km at 7.2%, summiting with 5km left.The last 10km begin on the wide avenues inside Como and turn up at the railway underpass. San Fermo is around 7% with a 10% maximum on a narrow, rough-surfaced road with several hairpins. The descent is wide and well paved through two lit tunnels and two large roundabouts, ending at the flamme rouge. The final left-hand bend comes at 600 metres and the finishing straight is seven metres wide.The Nine SummitsGPMClimbs Bergamo to Como239.0km start 255m, finish 201m1Bocche del Gavarno 413mColle dei Pasta climb first test of the daykm 14.22Selvino 947m10.1km at 5.9%, max 9% from Nembro, stepped hairpinskm 31.93Colle di Berbenno 697msp.17km 65.74Valpiana 989m10.1km at 6.2%, max 10% high point of the racekm 85.55Colle Brianza 670mGiovenzana side 3.6km at 9.2%, max 16%km 138.16Madonna del Ghisallo 753m8.6km at 6.2%, max 14% from the Bellagio turnkm 178.47San Fermo della Battaglia 397mFirst ascent 2.7km at 7.2%, max 10%km 211.98Civiglio 613m4.2km at 9.7%, max 14% road narrows at the summitkm 222.39San Fermo della Battaglia 397mSecond ascent summit 5.2km from the linekm 233.8TimingsLocal time (CEST) Irish time is one hour behindSign-onBergamo, Piazza Giacomo Matteotti09:1510:45Ceremonial start2.8km neutralised transfer10:55Kilometre zeross.42 10:00 Irish time11:00FinishComo, Lungo Lario Trento 15:4016:20 Irish time16:4017:20Irish InterestBen Healy is the only Irish rider on the entry list, riding bib 63 for EF Education-EasyPost alongside Richard Carapaz, Neilson Powless and Lukas Nerurkar.Lombardia is the sort of race Healy was built for. It is long, it is relentlessly up and down, and it rewards a rider willing to go early and alone rather than wait for a sprint that never comes. The Giovenzana wall at 138km and Civiglio inside the last 20 are both the kind of short, vicious pitch where he has made races before.IRLIrish StarterOne rider from 17563Ben HEALYEF Education-EasyPostThe ContendersFive days after taking the European title in enur, Remco Evenepoel lines up in Bergamo in the stars jersey with bib 151. Red Bull BORA hansgrohe have packed the card around him: Primo Rogli, Florian Lipowitz, Giulio Pellizzari and Mattia Cattaneo all ride.The two riders who finished behind Evenepoel at the Europeans are both here too. Giulio Ciccone, beaten by a photograph on Sunday, leads Lidl-Trek on home roads with Juan Ayuso alongside him; Christian Scaroni, third in Slovenia, heads XDS Astana with Lorenzo Fortunato and Simone Velasco.UAE Team Emirates XRG bring Isaac del Toro, Adam Yates, Jan Christen and Brandon McNulty. Netcompany Ineos have Egan Bernal, Thymen Arensman, Oscar Onley and Michal Kwiatkowski. Tom Pidcock leads Pinarello-Q36.5, Marc Hirschi and Michael Storer ride for Tudor, Mikel Landa for Soudal Quick-Step, Lenny Martinez for Bahrain Victorious and Matteo Jorgenson for Visma | Lease a Bike. Jarno Widar, Paul Seixas and Ben Tulett are among the young riders worth watching on a course that has historically rewarded them.Bauke Mollema, who won here in 2019, rides what may be one of his last Monuments for Lidl-Trek.Entry ListTwenty-five teams, seven riders each, 175 starters.

He led at the 8-kilometre check, led again at 16.3km and never looked like losing it, finishing 6.58 seconds up on Bruno Armirail. Maxime Decomble made it two Frenchmen on the podium at 28.42 seconds.The course was short but not flat: 374 metres of climbing in 22 kilometres, with the Mojanca ascent two kilometres averaging 10 per cent splitting the ride in two. The crowd that had packed the Sunday road race came back for it.Behind the podium the race turned on where riders spent themselves. Kasper Asgreen was only 18th at the 8km check and rode the fastest closing sector of anyone, 6:22.58, to finish sixth. Ilan Van Wilder took fourth and Stefan Kng fifth.

UEC Road European Championships Day ThreeSunday 4 October Ljubljana to enur, SloveniaElite mens and junior womens road racesRest day Monday team time trials resume Tuesday 6 OctoberRemco Evenepoel won the European road race title by a photo finish from Giulio Ciccone in enur on Sunday 4 October, completing a set that already held Olympic and world titles.The two were inseparable on the home straight after 196.2km, and the judges needed the photograph to separate them. Christian Scaroni came home alone 59 seconds later for bronze, giving Italy two medals in the championships flagship event.It had been a brutal race. A six-man break went after twenty kilometres, including Luka Mezgec riding his last race, before Belgium controlled the chase and Italys pressure closed it down with 80km left.Ciccone attacked 36km from the finish and Evenepoel went with him. The pair were clear when Evenepoel lost control of his bike and crashed. He remounted immediately and rejoined the chasers, while Ciccone, who did not press on alone, was also caught.Evenepoel attacked again shortly afterwards, Ciccone again the only rider able to follow, and this time it stuck. By the bell the two led by about thirty seconds from a group containing Primo Rogli, Mathys Rondel, Scaroni and Ivn Romeo. France sent Rondel across; Scaroni went with him, then dropped him and chased alone, but could not reach the leaders.Around 200,000 spectators lined the course, with the President of Slovenia, Nataa Pirc Musar, watching the finish in enur.Elite Mens Road RaceRRResult Elite Mens Road RaceSun 4 October 2026 Ljubljana enur 196.2km 66 classified1Remco EVENEPOEL (4) 04:16:372Giulio CICCONE (33) 04:16:373Christian SCARONI (39) +00:594Toms SKUJINS (86)+01:135Ivan ROMEO ABAD (46)+01:166Ramses DEBRUYNE (3)+01:167Emil HERZOG (63)+01:168Maxim VAN GILS (6)+01:169Lo BISIAUX (11)+01:1810Primo ROGLI (23)+01:1911Mathys RONDEL (14)+01:2712Romain GREGOIRE (13)+02:0813Jakob OMRZEL (22)+02:0814Kvin VAUQUELIN (16)+02:0815Marc HIRSCHI (58)+02:0816Mikkel HONOR (29)+02:0817Alex BAUDIN (9)+02:0818Pavel SIVAKOV (15)+02:1519Jan TRATNIK (24)+02:4720Michael GOGL (67)+02:4721Aleksandr VLASOV (83)+02:4722Pau MIQUEL DELGADO (43)+02:4723Maximilian SCHACHMANN (65)+02:4724Tijmen GRAAT (48)+02:4725Urko BERRADE FERNANDEZ (42)+02:5026Diego ULISSI (40)+03:0727Nelson OLIVEIRA (73)+03:0728Jan CHRISTEN (56)+03:0729Marco SCHRETTL (70)+04:4730Senna REMIJN (53)+04:4731Giulio PELLIZZARI (37)+06:4932Clment BRAZ AFONSO (12)+06:4933Matej MOHORIC (20)+08:1334Mateusz GAJDULEWICZ (79)+08:1335Peter HANSEN (28)+08:1436Mads PEDERSEN (31)+08:1437Marco BRENNER (61)+08:1438Victor LANGELLOTTI (115)+12:1439Julien BERNARD (10)+12:1940Jardi Christiaan VAN DER LEE (54)+12:1941Marco FRIGO (36)+12:1942Philipp HOFBAUER (69)+13:3043Alexander HAJEK (68)+13:3044Gijs LEEMREIZE (50)+13:3045Fabian WEISS (59)+14:0946Frederik WANDAHL (32)+14:0947Tiago ANTUNES (72)+14:0948Ludovico CRESCIOLI (34)+14:0949Anthon CHARMIG (27)+14:0950Jakub KACZMAREK (80)+16:5351Dominik NEUMAN (77)+18:0352Tobias BAYER (66)+18:0353Mrk VALENT (93)+18:0354Jnos Zsombor PELIKN (92)+18:0355Axel KLLBERG (109)+18:0356Johannes ADAMIETZ (60)+18:0357Valentin DARBELLAY (57)+18:0358Filip MACIEJUK (81)+18:0359Burak ABAY (103)+18:0360Alex MOLENAAR (51)+18:0361Emiliano VILA (98)+18:0362Emanuel ZANGERLE (71)+18:0863Sjoerd BAX (47)+18:0864Jochem KERCKHAERT (49)+18:0865Mathieu KOCKELMANN (101)+18:0866Mats WENZEL (102)+18:08PhotosPhotography by UEC Sprint Cycling Agency2026 UEC Road European Championships -

Odriozola dropped back on the second climb, leaving four to contest it, and attacks from Ballan and Lestrade on the final ascent could not separate them. Burger was fourth at five seconds.The win is a family matter: Ballan is the daughter of Alessandro Ballan, world road race champion in 2008 and winner of the Tour of Flanders in 2007.RRResult Junior Womens Road RaceSun 4 October 2026 enur 66.3km 57 classified1Azzurra BALLAN (12) 01:52:382Morgane LESTRADE (27) 01:52:383Klara DWORATZEK (20) 01:52:384Leni BURGER (19)+00:055Elisa BIANCHI (13)+01:346Eva DRHOV (38)+01:347Alejandra NEIRA DOMINGUEZ (4)+01:348Edda BIEBERLE (18)+01:349Karolna HAJDUKOV (58)+01:3410Amandine JAKOB (21)+01:3411Matilde ROSSIGNOLI (17)+01:3412Elena LOPES (52)+01:3413Karolna PICAROV (41)+01:3414Mirthe MONS (32)+01:3415Laura FIVE (36)+01:3416Thas POIRIER (29)+01:3417Giorgia PELLIZOTTI (16)+01:3418Lujza BARTOKOV (56)+01:3419Anja GROSSMANN (45)+01:3420Alessia ORSI (15)+01:3421Nomie MARTINET (28)+01:3422Michaela JIROUTKOV (39)+01:3423Emma GALOVIOV (57)+01:3424Nomie JURADO ROUMIEUX (26)+01:3425Jade ZIJLSTRA (35)+01:3426Greta ANDERSSON (89)+01:3427Jael PLATTNER (49)+01:3428August MIKUTYT (44)+01:3429Marie HERZOG (25)+01:3430Elia MARTHE (48)+03:5131Charlotte SPTH (22)+03:5132Aitana GUTIERREZ VELARDE (2)+04:5333Carolina TRATTNER (69)+04:5334Amelia SZYMANSKA (11)+04:5335Evie REIJN (33)+05:1236Lucie ELIZALDE (24)+05:1437Marie WEMBER (23)+05:1538Natlie NMCOV (40)+05:1539Rene EXENBERGER (66)+05:1540Kinga SOMKA (10)+05:1541Hana JEROMEL (61)+05:1542Lina MEHLE (63)+05:1543Manon MAHY (37)+05:1544August AUDINYT (42)+05:1545Virg BENEDEK (76)+05:1546Valentine ROUSSEAUX (50)+05:1547Maxime TAKKEN (34)+05:1548Los DE JONG (30)+05:1549Lluna JIMENEZ GONZALEZ (3)+05:1550Klra PADUCHOV (59)+05:1551Naxara ODRIOZOLA LECUONA (5)+05:1952Luna-Marie WEBER LAU (55)+07:5153Julia POPIECH (8)+07:5154Kate Ketrina SKUJINA (82)+07:5155June NOTHUM (53)+07:5156Naia TORRENT DEL CID (6)+07:5157Lou-Anne HALTER (46)+07:51The championships take a rest day on Monday and resume on Tuesday 6 October with the junior mixed team time trial at 10:00 Irish and the elite team time trial at 14:30.PhotosPhotography by UEC Sprint Cycling Agency2026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - - photo Roberto Bettini/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Start - - photo Roberto Bettini/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Scenery - photo Ilario Biondi/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Scenery - photo Ivan Benedetto/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Scenery - photo Ivan Benedetto/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Scenery - photo Ivan Benedetto/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Scenery - photo Ivan Benedetto/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Leni Burger (GER) - photo Ivan Benedetto/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Germany - photo Ivan Benedetto/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - France - photo Ivan Benedetto/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Germany - photo Ivan Benedetto/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Azzurra Ballan (ITA - Breganze Millenium) - photo Ivan Benedetto/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Azzurra Ballan (Italy) - Morgane Lastrade (France) - Klara Dworatzek (GER) - photo Roberto Bettini/SprintCyclingAgency20262026 UEC Road European Championships - Ljubljana Slovenia - Women Junior Road Race - Sencur - Sencur 66,3 km - 04/10/2026 - Azzurra Ballan (ITA - Breganze Millenium) Morgane Lestrade (FRA) Klara Dworatzek (GER - Mirat Team) - photo Ilario Biondi/SprintCyclingAgency202614 photosThe post UEC Road European Championships; Results & Photos Day Three appeared first on IrishCyclingNews.com | Irish Cycling News | IrishCycling.
