The 2025 UCI Road World Championships head to Rwanda for the very first time, and the men’s elite road race promises to be one of the most explosive in recent history. On a course packed with brutal climbs, relentless heat, and a passionate African crowd, the rainbow jersey will be decided in a showdown tailor-made for the sport’s biggest stars.

In this episode, we break down the route, the key contenders, and the tactical battles that could define the race. Can Tadej Pogačar add another rainbow jersey to his palmarès? Will Remco Evenepoel repeat his world title heroics and prove once again that he’s the king of one-day destruction? Or will an outsider seize the day on Rwandan roads and upset the cycling hierarchy?

We dive deep into the strategies, national team dynamics, and the wider significance of a World Championships in Africa.
