Kopecky tops medal haul at Glasgow World Championships with 3x gold and 1x silver; 10 riders in total take home multiple medals
Cycling
The 'super' Glasgow World Championships have now been completed with Rainbow Jerseys handed out in various different cycling disciplines. With all said and done, no rider was more successful than Belgian superstar, Lotte Kopecky.
Taking home a grand total of four World Championship medals with her, three of them gold, Kopecky was the standout rider of the games. Impressive also about the 26-year-old's performance is the fact that her medals came across two disciplines, winning two titles on the track and most recently, the women's elite road race on Sunday.
American track star Jennifer Valente, Italian Filippo Ganna and New Zealand's Aaron Gate were the only other riders at the championships to claim more than two medals. Valente taking a pair of golds and a bronze, Ganna a gold and two silvers and Gate a gold and two bronzes.
Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, Elinor Barker, Chloe Dygert and Albert Philipsen will all travel home with two gold medals in their luggage whilst Samuel Gaze and Tom Pidcock round out the list of multiple medal winners.

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
