Remco Evenepoel had barely crossed the finish line before declaring he would try to retain his world time trial title next year and in the process make history.

Evenepoel sets sights on making time trial history as Pogacar turns focus to road race after disappointment

The 25-year-old Belgian secured a hat-trick of world championships with a dominant win in Sunday's individual time trial, blitzing the field to win by more than a minute through the streets of the Rwandan capital.

He joins Australia's Michael Rogers (2003-05) and Germany's Tony Martin (2011-13) as those who have previously won three in a row.

"The list I have joined are two pretty impressive guys in Tony and Michael so it's a big step for me to step up there and, yeah, I guess next year I have to go for another one, because I want to be the first to get four in a row," Evenepoel said.

He had been expected to be in a tight tussle with Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar of the UAE Team Emirates-XRG, who had set his sights on winning both Sunday's time trial and next weekend's men's road race.
