The 2026 UCI Road World Championships in Montreal, Canada, featured significant achievements in the junior and under-23 categories. In the women’s U23 road race, 19-year-old Viktória Chladoňová of Slovakia secured the gold medal via a sprint finish after a demanding 134km course. She defeated Canada’s Isabella Holmgren, who took silver, and Belgium’s Fleur Moors, who earned bronze. This victory represents the fifth road world championship gold for Slovakia, and Chladoňová becomes only the third person from her nation to wear the rainbow jersey in road championships. In the men’s junior category, Spanish cyclist Benjamín Noval achieved a historic double by winning both the individual time trial and the road race. Noval, the son of former professional Benjamín Noval, dominated the road event by attacking late to finish solo. He is only the second junior male in history to win both events at a single championship, matching a feat previously set by Remco Evenepoel. In the women’s junior road race, Spain’s Alejandra Neira claimed the gold medal following a tactical sprint against Italy’s Matilde Rossignoli and Switzerland’s Anja Grossmann. Neira, an 18-year-old from Santiago de Compostela, won a five-rider sprint finish after a decisive break formed on the final climb of a circuit featuring 1,600 meters of elevation gain. Neira, who holds a contract with the Movistar team through 2029, narrowly beat Rossignoli in the final 100 meters. In the men’s U23 category, American Ashlin Barry won the gold medal, followed by Spain’s Héctor Álvarez in second and Norway’s Jesper Stiansen in third. ~~The event also included disciplinary action following~~ Following a controversial incident during the junior race involving a Spanish team ~~car.
