Under-23 Men's Individual Time Trial at the World Road Championships - Notable Cyclists to Keep an Eye On
Jakob Söderqvist, the Swedish cyclist, has proven his mettle in the world of cycling, securing a silver medal in the under-23 men's time trial at the 2023 World Championships and finishing second overall at the Tour of Denmark in the same year.
Söderqvist's prowess in the time trial event is evident, having also won the time trial stage at the Tour of Denmark, beating riders like Mads Pedersen. His performance under pressure, as displayed in these races, has solidified his position as a formidable competitor.
However, Söderqvist will face stiff competition at the UCI Road World Championships 2025. While his main rival is not explicitly stated in the available sources, it is clear that Maxime Decomble from France and Lorenzo Finn from Italy, both strong riders in their respective countries, are likely to pose a significant challenge.
Decomble, who led the Tour de l'Avenir until the final time trial, lost 1:49 to teammate Paul Seixas in the final stage, indicating his potential in the time trial event. Finn, on the other hand, clinched the Junior Men's road race at the World Championships in Zurich in 2023, showcasing his versatility in different cycling disciplines.
Other potential dark horse contenders for the under-23 men's time trial in Kigali include Mateo Kalejman from Argentina, who won the Pan-Am championships by over two minutes, Charles Kagimu from Uganda, the African time trial champion and an Olympian, Callum Thornley, the British under-23 time trial champion, and Mohammad Al Mutaiwei, the Asian under-23 TT champion racing for UAE Emirates Gen Z.

Jarno Widar, a strong rider in the under-23 men's time trial, is more of a climber than a time trialist, suggesting a different style of riding that could potentially disrupt the race dynamics. However, with Söderqvist's consistent performances and his ability to perform under pressure, he remains the rider to beat in the under-23 men's time trial at the UCI Road World Championships 2025.
