Joshua Tarling claimed victory at the Chrono des Nations (1.1). In the 48.9-kilometer time trial around Les Herbiers, he outpaced Jay Vine and Stefan Küng. Earlier in the day, Ellen van Dijk definitively ended her career with a win in the women's race.
Tarling posted the fastest time at the first intermediate checkpoint and repeated this at the second. His lead over Vine increased from 23 to 41 seconds. The Australian gained some time in the final section but still finished half a minute behind the Brit. Küng, who was second at the first checkpoint, settled for third place at the finish line.
This marked Tarling’s second Chrono des Nations victory. In 2023, he had defeated Remco Evenepoel in the French time trial event week.
