Lavreysen calls record 15th world title completely crazy
The Straits Times|October 20, 2024
BALLERUP - Dutch cyclist Harrie Lavreysen on Oct 18 won the men's 1km time trial for a record 15th world championship track title.

Two days after claiming the team sprint gold, the five-gold Olympic champion took the men's time trial ahead of compatriot and three-time defending champion Jeffrey Hoogland. Britain's Joseph Truman won bronze.

Lavreysen overtakes France's Arnaud Tournant's 14 world titles from 1997 to 2008.

“Fifteen titles, I don't even know what to say. There are so many prestigious names on this list, it's completely crazy,” he told AFP.

“It was hard because it's the first time I've raced the kilometre at this level, but I managed it.

“It's special.”

The 27-year-old could add to his tally on Oct 20 in the individual sprint event, where he is the five-time reigning champion.
