One of the most striking moments in 2025 was watching Remco Evenepoel<\/a> catch and pass Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/a> to win the time trial world title for the third time in a row.<\/p>\n

Poga\u010dar, by any measure, had an unfathomable season, his catalogue of victories was unprecedented. Even though Evenepoel already held two TT world titles, seeing him overtake the Slovenian was still astonishing. Days later, however, Poga\u010dar reminded the world of his dominance with a blistering solo attack to claim his second straight road race world title in Rwanda, with Evenepoel settling for silver.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Throughout 2025, Evenepoel finished ahead of the UAE Team Emirates\u2013XRG star three times, all in time trials: stage 4 of the Crit\u00e9rium du Dauphin\u00e9, stage 5 of the Tour de France, and the World Championships.<\/p>\n

But on the road and in general classifications, Poga\u010dar was untouchable. He won the Crit\u00e9rium du Dauphin\u00e9, where Evenepoel placed fourth, as well as the European Championships and Il Lombardia, in which the Belgian finished runner-up. He then dominated the Tour de France for a third consecutive year, a race Evenepoel ultimately abandoned.<\/p>\n

Evenepoel has made it clear that his ultimate ambition remains winning the Tour de France, and the groundwork is already being laid<\/a>. With his new team, Red Bull\u2013Bora\u2013Hansgrohe, the Belgian superstar is focused on becoming a rider capable of challenging both Poga\u010dar and Jonas Vingegaard at the sport\u2019s highest level<\/p>\n

In Milan to attend an event organised by his agent Alex Carrera, the world champion sat down for a quick chat with sporza.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor himself, I think a change can be good; changes can sometimes be really good. He goes from one super team to another super team,\u201d a relaxed and smiling Poga\u010dar told sporza<\/a> when asked about Evenepoel moving from Soudal-Quickstep to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be interesting to see if he can make another step, which I hope not, because he\u2019s already so good and so dominant sometimes. It would be scary to see him even better.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think he can do really good and I think the whole world is interested [to see] how he\u2019s going to be at Red Bull, but I think maybe it\u2019s going to be similar to what was now, in terms of [outside] view, but for him it will be a big change for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the most striking moments in 2025 was watching Remco Evenepoel catch and pass Tadej Poga\u010dar to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":303396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-303395","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cycling","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/303396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
