Road World Championships Head to Montréal Without Tadej Pogačar

Attention across international endurance sports turns to the UCI Road World Championships in Montréal, Canada, where a new elite men’s road race champion will be crowned with a 15.00 UTC start time broadcast via ZDF-livestream and Eurosport. The field lacks defending superstar Tadej Pogačar, who ended his competitive campaign prematurely following a crash at the Vuelta a España.

With the Slovenian dominator sidelined, the race for the rainbow jersey remains wide open among a pack of elite contenders. Key names shaping the tactical outlook include Belgian standout Remco Evenepoel, French climbing sensation Paul Seixas, and Mexican prospect Isaac Del Toro. Meanwhile, Germany’s leading contender Florian Lipowitz faces steep odds following a collarbone fracture sustained earlier at the Tour de France.

FC Bayern Women Turn Focus to DFB-Pokal After European Stumble

In domestic club action, the FC Bayern Frauen squad travels to face Borussia Mönchengladbach in a first-round DFB-Pokal fixture scheduled for 15.00 UTC with coverage on Sky. The fixture arrives immediately after a domestic and European reality check, following a 2:2 draw against Manchester City in the opening match of the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage.

The Munich side experienced a mix of frustration and cautious optimism following the European stalemate. History favors the reigning domestic powerhouses, however; Bayern lifted the DFB-Pokal trophy in both the previous calendar year and 2025, establishing themselves as heavy favorites to advance despite the tricky away tie in Mönchengladbach.
