Swedish powerhouse Jakob S\u00f6derqvist steamrollered the hills outside of Kigali to claim the rainbow stripes in the U23 men\u2019s world championship<\/a> time trial on Monday.<\/p>\n

The strapping rouleur was more than one-minute faster than second-place Kiwi racer Nate Pringle, with Frenchman Maxime Decomble in third.<\/p>\n

S\u00f6derqvist, who steps up from Lidl-Trek\u2019s devo team<\/a> to its WorldTour squad in 2026, was literally head and shoulders above the opposition in Monday\u2019s lumpy 31km TT.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old paced the first half to perfection before putting more than 30 seconds into his rivals across the final split.<\/p>\n

S\u00f6derqvist\u2019s 1:04 winning margin belied how tight the rest of the field was Monday.<\/p>\n

Pringle and Decomble were split by one-fifth of a second, and positions 2 through 10 were separated by less than a minute in the final standings.<\/p>\n

USA\u2019s Cole Kessler \u2013 who races alongside S\u00f6derqvist at Lidl-Trek \u2013 finished only 15 seconds from the top-10 with his 11th place finish.<\/p>\n

Victory on Monday closes a chapter for S\u00f6derqvist.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old finished seventh in the U23 time trial worlds in 2023, and was second behind outgoing champ Iv\u00e1n Romeo of Spain last year in Z\u00fcrich.<\/p>\n

S\u00f6derqvist will join Movistar rider Romeo in the WorldTour ranks \u2013 and the senior world championships \u2013 in 2026.<\/p>\n
