British time trial specialist Josh Tarling<\/a> rounded off his 2025 season with a resounding victory in the Chrono des Nations,<\/a> beating Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) by a hefty 30-second margin in the 44-kilometre course in western France.<\/p>\n

Three-times Chrono champion Stefan K\u00fcng, riding his last race for Groupama-FDJ before heading to Tudor next season, had to settle for third, 1:15 back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Ineos Grenadiers racer netted his first victory since the opening time trial stage of the Giro d’Italia in May with a time of 51:12 and an average speed of 52.578kmh, the fastest in the race’s history.<\/p>\n

Taking a clear advantage from the word go, Tarling clocked the fastest times at each of the intermediate checkpoints, 19 seconds ahead of K\u00fcng after 10.5 kilometres, and with a 41-second margin over Vine at km 34.2. <\/p>\n

After that, Vine recouped some of his losses in the finale, but Tarling’s early advantage was more than sufficient to net him the victory.<\/p>\n

For Tarling, this was his second win in the Chrono des Nations, following his triumph in 2023, ahead of Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep).<\/p>\n

Already the youngest ever winner of the long-standing French one-day time trial two years ago at 19, according to ProCyclingStats<\/a>, his year’s victory at 21 sees him claim the second place in that unofficial category, too.<\/p>\n
