The only reason I got Evenepoel is because it was the world championships (as shown by the little rainbow in the graphics) and I couldn't remember Ilan van Wilder or Mauri Vansevenant winning a world title (which I assume is why the pictured rider was celebrating) and Evenepoel most definitely did

That's alright, I don't believe @heywoodu ever joined the Peter Velits hype train.

You are not seriously comparing Peter Velits* with someone who's beating the very top of the world at and even before age 20 right?  

 

*despite two decent performances, in one of which he was at the finish - according to the commentator - 'a Slovenian, or either a Slovak or a Czech'  Which has nothing to do with him of course,  but I found it funny to hear that when searching for it just now

It seems more and more likely UCI will move the world championships out of Switzerland, and there seems to be a major candidate.

Yes that has been going around for a while, but rumours are Qatar has taken the top position for that spot. I really hope it'll be Oman, even though with Dylan Groenewegen the Netherlands would have one of the major candidates for gold on a flat course like Qatar - an awesome race is of course a lot more important than having a winner with the same flag.
