Belief Champion Ryan Gal 'Required' to Sleep in Rainbow Jersey: 'Still an Unreal Feeling'
Ryan Gal, a 21-year-old cyclist from Neede, became the world time trial champion for under-23 riders after switching from Picnic PostNL to Metec-Solarwatt to focus on his discipline. Competing in Montréal, he finished 31.3 kilometers in 37 minutes and 26 seconds, beating Italy’s Nicolas Milesi by seven seconds despite having had the flu days earlier. Gal slept in his rainbow jersey as instructed by the federation and credited his victory to improved aerodynamics, team support, and optimal training conditions.
