Ivan Romeo's extraordinary performance in the final stretch allowed him to overcome a 20-second deficit and secure victory in the men's under-23 individual time trial by a remarkable 41 seconds.
After being 20 seconds behind at the first check, Romeo leveraged the undulating middle section and unleashed a stunning final 9.4 kilometers, ultimately winning the rainbow jersey.
Sweden's Jakob Soderqvist utilized a strong finish to take silver, finishing 32 seconds behind Romeo, while Switzerland's Jan Christen held onto bronze despite an earlier lead.
Romeo's remarkable late sprint proved pivotal, solidifying his triumph over competitors like Christen, who faltered in the final stretch after leading initially, and Alec Segaert, who collapsed to fourth.
