The rainbow jersey 🌈 will be decided on Mount Royal. Coach Frank breaks down exactly how many watts it will to win the 2026 World Championship road race in Montréal, built from race data, and which riders can make those watts/kg.

What we'll cover:

• The course: three climbs, twelve times. Mount Royal (1.6 km at 7.7%), the Polytechnique (370 m at 9%), the Pagnuelo (470 m at 7.8%) and the uphill drag to the line on Avenue du Parc

• Our prediction: 8.0 W/kg (about 515 watts) forĀ 3:40 on Mount Royal to win the men's race, 6.6 W/kg for the women, and about 9 W/kg on each of the two kickers

• What the race files show: Pogačar'sĀ 3:27 up Mount Royal in 2024, and last week's GP MontrĆ©al where Seixas and Del Toro rode it at 7.5 W/kg twice on the exact Worlds lap

• Why time above threshold decides this race: 45 to 60 minutes over threshold in short, repeated efforts, not one big number

 • No Pogačar, so who wins? Evenepoel, Del Toro, Seixas, McNulty and Quinn Simmons for the men. Niewiadoma-Phinney, Vollering, Reusser, Longo Borghini and ValliĆØres for the women
