Remco Evenepoel has made history by becoming the first cyclist ever to win all the major titles in the sport. This achievement was completed in October 2026 during the European Championships in Slovenia, where he secured the final piece of his collection. As a 26-year-old rider for the Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe team, Evenepoel has accomplished what no other cycling legend, including Eddy Merckx or Bernard Hinault, had managed before him. He has now won all the major international titles, both in road racing and time trials, marking a unique milestone in the sport. Evenepoel’s success is attributed to his extraordinary versatility and the evolution of the cycling calendar. The modern era has seen the introduction of key events, such as the World Time Trial Championships in 1994, the inclusion of professional cyclists in the Olympics in 1996, and the European Championships starting in 2016. Evenepoel began his professional journey in 2019 with a European time trial title in Alkmaar, and since then, he has steadily built an impressive list of victories. These include winning the Vuelta in 2022, the world road racing championship in Wollongong in 2022, the world time trial championships in Stirling in 2023 and Zurich in 2024, and double gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics in both the road race and time trial. After securing his final title, Evenepoel expressed his emotions, calling it "the last piece of the puzzle" that completed his collection of jerseys and gold medals. He emphasized that achieving all possible titles since his professional debut felt like an unrealistic dream, but now he stands at the pinnacle of the sport. Evenepoel’s accomplishments surpass those of other greats like Miguel Indurain, Jan Ullrich, and Bradley Wiggins, who had come close but never achieved the complete set of titles. His dominance is further highlighted by his victories in Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 2022 and 2023, as well as his Belgian national champion titles, showcasing his ability to excel in both time trials and one-day races or grand tours. Evenepoel's journey since 2019 has culminated in a historic achievement that few could have imagined. At just 26 years old, he has not only marked his generation but also written a defining chapter in the history of international sports. His ability to dominate across all aspects of cycling has solidified his place as a unique figure in the sport, with his accomplishments likely to remain unmatched for years to come.
