Félix Roussel adds 1500-metre silver medal at World Tour stop in Montreal

Is it Roussel going double gold? Is it Van den Voort coming back to the top of the podium? Lukas Beckenhauser hasn't made a podium individually on the World Cup or World Tour since 2023. And it was right here. And you have to ask Shogo, is it his time? Is it Natalini's time? Is it Weikhoff's time? Well, we're about to find out. To the start. Van den Voort, he does like to lead. He was chasing through that entire 500 meters, unfamiliar territory for him. Jens Van de Voort, he's got the speed, he has the endurance, he can push the pace and hold on late, so it's always a smart strategy for him to try to control from the front, but he's certainly contested for that lead as Lukas Speckenhauser casually makes his way around the outside, deciding to tuck in a second. risking it right now, just getting right back into that slipstream, getting what draft he can. Shindong Min's best senior single individual result is actually at the Olympics when he was fourth. In this distance, in Milano Cortina, Shin has often been behind Alexa, Huang Daihong, Im Jong-un, but now it's his moment, Im Jong-un going out injured a couple days ago in practice for this weekend, now the gladiators are at the front, Speckenhauser, Natalini and Shin goes to the front. I can't hear you. Roussel, Mietta and Dekhoff all just watching those four battle it out right now. It's been fairly calm, but it's going to explode at any moment here. Keeping an eye on Jens Van Aertwoord, a little bit of a gap for him to accelerate into. Felix Roussel just holding him behind Jens at this moment. Speckenhauser, Shin now, Van Aertwoord back up into third. Roussel also taking a look at fourth, Shin in the lead. Dongmin out of Seoul, a 21-year-old. Oh, the gladiator's over the line. And that allows Roussel to get up into third. Van het Vout on the front. We're already down to a lap and a half. There is one review coming. It's all kicking off behind him. Van het Vout not too long ago. It was a harsh bring back down to earth by him. Now he is trying to take off once again. Here comes Roussel. Van Aert van der Poel is returning to the top of the podium. Roussel, second this time. And it is Miata back to back. Trips to the podium in third place in this distance. There is one review and it was a possible failure to give way on one of the Italians. What a strong performance from Jens Van der Poel. Showcasing his strength and endurance right now. His passing capabilities as well. He was back in fourth position. He had to pick his way through the field. But he's just too much to handle in the finishing stages of a 1500 meter. There are all sorts of emotions today. And yeah, it's more relief than anything. He was flying high and got the wings clipped in the 500 meters.
