Demi Vollering won the 2026 women’s road race world title in Montréal, completing a historic 'triple crown' of the Giro, Tour de France Femmes, and World Championships.

Reusser and Vollering set for historic 39.2km duel at Montreal World Championships

The 2026 UCI Road World Championships in Montreal feature a historic women's elite time trial, where defending champion Marlen Reusser and Grand Tour winner Demi Vollering will contest the longest women's world title race ever. The 39.2km course, identical to the men's distance, favors complete time trialists with 220m of climbing, while broader events see Tadej Pogacar's absence open the men's road race to Remco Evenepoel and others.

Cyclists and Athletes Reject Sweeney’s Novig Ad as Sexualizing

A new advertising campaign for the sports betting platform Novig, featuring actress Sydney Sweeney in a state of near-nudity, has triggered widespread criticism from professional athletes. Cyclists Demi Vollering and Maddy Nutt, along with Olympic swimmer Ariarne Titmus, argue the ad sexualizes women’s sport and undermines decades of progress in normalizing female athletic achievement. While the campaign generated massive social media engagement, critics contend it reduces athletes to objects rather than celebrating their physical capabilities. Sweeney, who is an equity holder in Novig, has faced backlash from both the sporting world and political commentators, with some arguing the controversy is driven by her political associations rather than the ad’s content.

Montréal 2026 Road Worlds: A Decade in the Making, Now Opened by Pogačar's Absence

The 2026 UCI Road World Championships return to Montréal, Canada, from September 20–27, marking the first North American edition since 2015.

The championships feature 13 events, including time trials and road races on a revamped Mount Royal circuit, with nearly 1,000 athletes from over 75 countries expected to compete.
