Slovakia Starts Road Race at Cycling World Championships with Relay Rider
Slovakia entered 28-year-old Vladimír Kováčik as a relay rider in the men's road race at the cycling world championships in Montreal after several other riders withdrew. The Slovak Cycling Federation cited the importance of maintaining a minimum representation in the elite category to secure future nominations for world, European, and Olympic championships. This decision aims to protect Slovakia's start positions for upcoming events. Earlier in these championships, Viktória Chladoňová won the title in the women's under-23 category.
