Alec Segaert successfully defended his European U23 men's time trial title on home ground in Hasselt. The 21-year-old Belgian tackled the 31.3km course in a time of 35:06 to retake the gold medal he won in the Dutch town of Emmen last year.

He beat out Sweden's Jakob Söderqvist by 31 seconds while Dutchman Wessel Mouris – the older brother of newly crowned junior European time trial champion Michiel – claimed bronze a further four seconds back.

Segaert, who this year turned professional with Lotto-Dstny, can add his victory here to a plethora of time trial wins at junior and U23 level. He has now won the European U23 time trial three times in a row having won the junior title back in 2021. 

Last month, Segaert took his first pro win, beating Magnus Sheffield in the time trial at the Renewi Tour.
