Could it be any closer? Peter Sagan just beats Alexander Kristoff to be come the Champion of the World. Again.

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.

"It's unreal," said Peter Sagan, who became world champion for the third consecutive year.

All the Norwegian people kept their breath as the riders passed the 1000m mark on the pier after the TV screens lost the images at a critical phase of the race. With about 2 km left there was only one man in front, but when the pictures finally came back on the screen, the field was again  together and the thrill was immense.

Alexander Kristoff's expectations were sky-high when he passed the spectators on the pier in a fantastic position to win gold at home. At the end of the race, he saw himself beaten by centimeters by Peter Sagan, who became a part of championship history with his third gold in three years.

"It's absolutely beautiful! I do not know if it's going to make any difference in the world, but it's very nice. To me it was awesome and I am very pleased", says Sagan.

He became the first to win three world championships in a row. When he talks about the three golds he says that the first was not expected, the second was definitely not expected and the third medal was expected by very many. "The last medal was the hardest.”

"I'm badly annoyed by myself and considering how the job worked. I felt good, but I have no more to go on in the sprint. I felt I had it, but Sagan came over,”  Kristoff said to TV 2.

Among hundreds of thousands of spectators, Alexander Kristoff and Edvald Boasson Hagen fought all over Norway's heart and honor and a medal of gold. It is getting to the last day’s of the cycling season and the world championship was not topped off with a medal in gold, but silver.

"We had two leaders today, me and Edvald Boasson Hagen, and the rest of the team worked well to get us in good positions. We both had good opportunities to get the best result, but eventually I was there and I am very pleased with that, "Kristoff says. “Unfortunately, I was not quick enough. It was close, so I have to be happy with the result, but I'm of course disappointed,” he adds.

As the sun looked forward to the morning race, the world's best cyclists set off from Rong to Bergen city. Running for almost 270 km, the Norwegian people gave memorable pictures and had goose bumps for six and a half hours.

Several of the Norwegian riders made a very good ride. With about six miles left to the line, Odd Christian Eiking was well-placed for almost three miles. The two laps with the Norwegians in the front enthralled the crowds. Grøndahl Jansen also drove very good rides toward home.

Edvald had to let go at the Laksebakken in the last round, and at 7km he was completely out of the medal match. It was all up to Kristoff, who was the only Norwegian with the possibility of a medal.

How was the experience? “It was quite insane, a lot of people. When you think of how many people were all over the course, then it's sick. It was a crazy atmosphere,” says Kristoff.

Saturday, September 23: Elite Women's Road Race/Course en ligne Femmes Elite, 152.8 km

Chantal Blaak finishes a half-minute in front of her nearest chaser. Sirotti photo

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the race:

This year's Dutch champion Chantal Blaak took victory in front of Australian Katrin Garfoot, the bronze medalist at the individual time trial. The bronze medal was secured by last year's world champion Amalie Didriksen.

"I can not believe it when I crashed, I had to wait a while and I thought the ride was over. It was not the plan that I should win, but that I would work best for the team. I was so happy to be national champion and now I have the rainbow shirt, “ said Blaak.

There was a happy Norwegian 7th place for Susanne Andersen, the best result so far in this year's World Championship for Norway. "I had never thought so before," said Andersen after the ride. With a slightly better position, she could have come even higher up. ”I could be even tougher and been even further ahead of the last turn, but it became a little chaotic when we caught the others on the run," she continued.

That the Norwegian women had plans to mark themselves in the rides already appeared on the first round when Andersen lay in front and towed the rest of the field. In front of the bridge, Swede Sara Penton moved and she led 37 seconds on the main field after 19.1 kilometers. The Swedes held their time gap and after passing 38.2 kilometers, Penton led 18 seconds to Melissa Lowther from the UK who had come out of the main bunch. The big main field passed 56 seconds behind the leading Swedish rider.

Just after the Puddefjord bridge, there was a Swedish-British duo in front, before Lowther drove away from Penton towards the Laksebakken. In front of the Fløibanen, the Netherlands set its first bump and the field was together at 57.3 kilometers.

Up the Salmon Hill in lap 4 it was quiet before the storm, but down to the center the speed was set again, and Alice Barnes and Blaak appeared. Then Andersen pushed and she got a few meters. By passing halfway after 76.4 kilometers, Andersen had 10 seconds ahead of the field and for a short while she rode with  Ellen van Dijk. But this attempt was quickly brought back.

There were new attacks after 70 kilometers when Dutch Amy Pieters, Briton Hannah Barnes and Australian Rachel Neylan went together. The trio had only 10 seconds on the field over the top for the fifth time, but a big effort in the front of the field increased this. Involved in the field were three Italians with Elena Cecchini, Elisa Longo Borghini and Elisa Balsamo. But also world champion Blaak hit the asphalt. Worst affected was Megan Guarnier who could not finish the race.

Passing 95.5 kilometers the trio led with 35 seconds on the reduced main bunch. There was shock all over the Laksebakken and on the descent, the Netherlands and Australia were on the attack. A quartet was formed with Hannah Barnes, Australian Gracie Elvin and Dutch riders Amy Pieters and Lucinda Brand. The Danes took responsibility and drove in the quartet, upon passing 114.6 kilometers the field was together with 71 remaining riders.

Immediately after passing, there was new attack from Vita Heine and Marianne Vos. And then Briton Danielle King went too. Dutch Janneke Ensing, French Elise Delzenne and Australian Amanda Spratt went after and formed a new quartet in front.

In Laksebakken, the last time, they really began to move ahead and a very high pace resulted in a group getting away. Among the group were Van der Breggen, Van Vleuten, Garfoot, Pauline Prevot Ferrand, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, Katarzyna Niewiadoma, Elizabeth Deignan and Tatiana Guderzo. The group quickly swallowed the break, but there was minimal cooperation between the stars.

Behind, in the main bunch, there was much better cooperation and they brought back the group.

Then a new strong attempt came with Blaak, French rider Audrey Cordon Ragot and again Hannah Barnes. Sarah Roy from Australia went after them.  At 133.7 kilometers, with 19.1 kilometers to go, the trio had 11 seconds on Roy and 32 seconds on the main peloton of 45 riders.

In the Laksebakken for the last time, the trio led 42 seconds on a main field headed by the local hero Heine. In the middle of the hill Niewiadoma went too and she brought Van Viguten, van der Breggen and Garfoot with her and these four formed at the front right before the top.

With 8 kilometers left to go, Blaak went and no other rider propelled themself from the group. All attempted escapes by the others were covered by the two remaining Dutch riders.

After the longest solo breakaway for women in a World Championship, Blaak could bask in the glory of a 28-second lead ahead of what had reformed into a major main field. The bunch sprint was won by Garfoot in front of Didriksen.

Saturday, September 23: Junior Men's Road Race/ Course en ligne Hommes Juniors, 133.8 km

Julius Johansen seems pleased to have become the new Junior Men's World Road Champion. Sirotti photo

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the race.

The Men Junior race started out on full throttle and went on from there. After an explosive last lap, Dane Julius Johansen crossed the finish line with an impressive distance in front of his opponents.

Johansen finished well ahead and could watch as the Italian team, claiming another two medals, with Luca Rastelli taking silver and Michele Gazzoli bronze after an exciting sprint finish.

“I know I have very good shape before (the World Championships) and I could show you guys I also had it today, and yeah it's just amazing”, Johansen said at the press conference. I always go too early on the breakaways, and so the tactic today was to wait and wait and wait and hope all the first attacks come back to the peloton, and yeah they did, and I could go on the last lap and that was just amazing, that was the plan and it worked out fantastic”, he said.

Just turned 18 some days ago, what does this mean for your career going forward with this gold medal: “It was very very important to me, I go out and should ride a contract next year, on the danish team. I have a world title now, that’s the best that could happen to me”, he said.

The race started with several smaller incidents where riders got caught on each other, taking some turns too steep and when trying to pass, getting too close to the edge of the road. Of course, the adrenaline and one of the biggest of moments in a cycling career will contribute to a tough race. After the messy start, pace going back and forth, the cyclists now were typically divided into a front group and a chasing peloton.

With 3 laps to go the front 10 riders, led by Italian Luca Rastelli was followed by a large peloton trailing 28 seconds behind. The winner Johanson paced himself sitting in the peloton biding his time.

At the last split there were several attacks, Julius Johansen (Den) went into the final lap in the lead with five other riders trailing, Rastelli being on his wheel in second. Then smaller groups of riders came scattered, in even, but short intervals. The fight for medals was really heating up in this energetic race.

Johansen left his rivals and was solo at the bottom of Salmon Hill. After climbing up and as he started descending towards the city center he had managed to get a 30 second lead with 8.5 km to go.

The chasing group couldn´t make up for the lost time and the Dane actually extended the lead finishing 51 seconds ahead of the sprint finish that went down for second and third place. Luca Rastelli, being active all race, and his fellow team mate Michele Gazzoli could, in a thrilling finish, snatch the silver and bronze.

Friday, September 22: Men Under 23 Road Race/ Course en ligne Hommes U23, 191 km

Benoit Cosnefroy is the new U23 Men's World Champion

The race: Here's the story from the organizer.

The Norwegian U23 team and Kristoffer Halvorsen wanted to defend the victory from Doha last year. And the setting was right, Bergen by rain.

It looked good for Norway, but in the end, it was a French victory.

"I didn’t know my rivals that well. I concentrated on myself and hoped I could win", a very satisfied Benoit Cosnefroy said at the press conference after the race.

The final race began: With four laps to go, the race gained speed, and silver medallist from the time trial, Brandon McNulty, managed to break away from the peloton. He was accompanied by Pavel Sivakov and Rasmus Fossum Tiller.

With three laps to go, Italy increased the speed of the peloton up Salmon Hill. This was an exciting time in the race indeed as many riders tried to push away from the rest of the peloton.

One lap to go: Who will be the next world champion and the bearer of the rainbow shirt?

Lennard Kamna from Germany, who took the gold medal on Sunday together with Team Sunweb at the Team Time Trial, pushed away just before “Salmon Hill”. The strong German rider flew up the hill.

Cosnefroy started the hunt for him, and soon after the duo was in together in front. "We came to this race without a captain and we worked together to ride a hard race", the Frenchman said after the race.

Would the leaders pull it off?
The hunt was on. From the top of the “Salmon hill” and towards the coastline, the difference was about 10 seconds. Everybody was holding their breaths: would they pull it off?

With one kilometre left, it could tip both ways. In the end, Cosnefory pulled it off and finished first. Second was Lennard Kamna (GER) and third place for Michael Carbel Svendgaard (DEN).

Complete results:

191 kilometers raced at an average speed of 39.739 km/hr

Friday, September 22: Junior Women's Road Race/Course en ligne Femmes Juniors, 76.4 km

Elena Pirrone gets her second rainbow jersey at these world championships.

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the race.

The course in Bergen was considerable tougher than during last year's world championships. The women junior road racers had to climb Salmon Hill four times. Italian Pirrone proved to be the best at it, finishing before silver medallist Danish Cecilie Norsgaard with another Italian, Letizia Paternoster, taking bronze.

Pirrone also claimed gold at the Time Trial race and stayed confident in the Italian team’s possibilities. –"We have a strong team and have great cooperation, that´s why we get medals. I am very happy winning here and be able to stand on the podium with Letizia", says Pirrone.

The larger teams were active from start, with Italy and Netherlands in front of the peloton.  Germany, United States and Denmark also making their mark early on. Already three kilometres into the race Paternoster were behind and had to be picked up back to the peloton by Vittoria Guazzini.

First time going up Salmon Hill, the front group held a steady but high pace, leaving several riders behind. Then on the way downhill Norsgaard made herself a 24 second lead, filled with confidence from her silver medal at the European Championships earlier this year. At the 19.1 mark the Dane lead by 42 seconds down to the chasing peloton. Hannah Ludwig, fourth in the Time Trial, pushed hard in the front to catch up, with other riders helping out and Norsgaard was brought back. She also dropped the front group at Salmon hill pacing herself for the later part of the race.

With 40 cyclists in the peloton at 38,2 kilometres Ludwig once again lead the field. On the way to Salmon hill several teams attacked. The peloton scattered and only 16 riders remained. The Pirrone went on the attach descending at a high speed. Both Ludwig and Norsgaard desperately tried to follow but Pirrone caught a lead by 13 seconds with 24 kilometres to go.

In the chasing peloton, riders were attacking more than cooperating and Pirrone could extend her lead to 30 seconds. When going into Salmon Hill the final time Italy went in front controlling the pace before more attacks came about. ThenNorsgaard, who had let go on the way up, caught the group in front again at the descent. At this point it was getting too late to catch the leader. Danish Caroline Bohé took charge leading the chasing group of 13 riders.

"Without Caroline I wouldn’t have made it, I wish there was a medal for her", said Norsgaard at the press conference. A crash 500 meters before the finishing line left 11 riders to sprint for silver and bronze. Pirrone could safely go for victory. Norsgaard that rode smart all the way was powerful at the end taking second place with Paternoster on third making it a great day for Italy.

76.4 kilometers raced at an average speed of 36.299 km/hr

Wednesday, September 20: Elite Men's individual time trial/Contre-la-montre individuel Hommes Elite, 31.0 km

Elite Men's ITT photos

Tom Dumoulin racing to a rainbow jersey

The race: Here's the report from the UCI.

Tom Dumoulin has captured the Netherlands second Elite Time Trial Gold in the 2017 UCI Road World Championships, clinching the victory just 24 hours after compatriot Annemiek van Vleuten triumphed in the women’s equivalent event.

Already victorious with his Team Sunweb squad in the men’s team time trial on Sunday, Dumoulin’s triumph in the individual race against the clock was captured by an emphatic 57 seconds over Slovenian Primoz Roglic, whilst Great Britain’s Chris Froome too home the bronze, 1-21 back.

Bronze in the 2014 World Championships TIme Trial, fifth in 2015 and seventh last year, Dumoulin has been close to the Elite Men’s Time Trial triumph for several years. But in a season where the 26-year-old rider from Maastricht has already captured his country’s first ever Giro d’Italia, Dumoulin has now raised the bar even further by becoming the Netherlands’ first ever Elite Male Time Trial Champion.

“I can’t believe it, I had such a good day, I thought my power meter was off because it was so high,” Dumoulin said afterwards after he had completed the 31 kilometre course. Doing the double [with team time trial gold] is amazing, Sunday was amazing but today [Wednesday] maybe less surprising. I was still one of the favourites, which made it even more difficult to stay calm. But I did that and I was on a good day.”

Dumoulin is also the first rider in history to take an UCI Road World Championships Time Trial with a summit finish, at the top of the ultra-steep three kilometre Mount Floyen. Egged on by thousands of Norwegian fans, and despite the rain which fell heavily in the final hour, Dumoulin said he had been cautious, but not overly so on the narrow, well-surfaced climb.

“I took the corners really slowly, particularly on the lower slopes where my tyres on my time trial bike kept slipping - I’d thought it was going to be dry.” Dumoulin said.

Asked about the decision not to change bikes, Dumoulin added, "I’m one of the guys who can do a good climb on a TT bike, I have no problems handling it, so it was the right decision I think.”

"There are no excuses. The conditions were the same for Tom Dumoulin who won behind me,” said bronze medallist Froome, together with Dumoulin a key pre-race favourite. A massive congratulations to Tom.. I’m just glad I’ve got no regrets. I gave it everything I had and I’d much rather be here and get a bronze then be at home wondering 'what if?'. The question has been answered and now it’s time to put my feet up.”

However, a large proportion of Dumoulin’s winning margin was taken before the climb itself on the fast, rolling double circuit through Bergen, despite the late rainfall. Third fastest at the first checkpoint, once he had settled into a steady pace, Dumoulin began clocking the top interemediate times and opened up a gap of 40 seconds ahead of closest pursuer Tony Martin at the foot of the climb. On the ascent itself, of the top finishers only Roglic managed to regain time on Dumoulin, snipping five seconds off the Dutchman’s advantage to close to a deficit of 57 seconds by the summit.

Whilst Roglic and Dumoulin marked times that seemed all but inassailable, the battle for bronze was - once again - a much tougher one. Former National TT Champion Nelson Oliveira of Portugal, sixth last year in Qatar, made a very slow start, but then gave it everything on the climb. Oliveira even managed to fend off a much steadier performance by former World TT Champion Vasil Kiryienka (Belarus) by less than three tenths of a second, and finally only Froome was able to oust Oliveira from the podium.

Two other potential medallists, France’s Alexis Gougeard and Australia’s Rohan Dennis were unlucky. Gougeard had a mechanical on the climb itself, slumping from fourth best at its foot to 13th whilst Dennis stayed within 10 seconds of Dumoulin on the flatter sections before crashing, hurting his right knee. Dennis still courageously made it into the top ten, though, in eighth place.

Meanwhile Dumoulin, having conquered the team time trial with Sunweb and the individual time trial, is now looking ahead to Sunday and the Elite Men’s Road Race.

“I’m still focused,” Dumoulin said. “There’ll be some celebrations tonight and tomorrow and then it’s all about Sunday.”

After Thursday’s break from racing, Friday sees the first Road Races take place: first, the Junior Women and then the Under-23 Men.

Tuesday, September 19: Elite Women's individual time trial/Contre-la-montre individuel Femmes Elite, 21.1 km

Annemiek van Vleuten on her gold-medal winning ride

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.

Annemiek van Vleuten has fought hard to get back to the top after her bad crash during last year’s Rio Olympic road race. Today, noticeably emotional, van Vleuten could celebrate becoming the new World Champion.

Van Vleuten won the Dutch Time Trial Championships in June. Today’s race also turned into a Dutch battle. At the end van Vleuten and runner up, silver medallist, Anna van der Breggen were only 12 seconds apart. Australian Katrin Garfoot repeated her solid performance from last year’s TT championships and took another bronze medal.

Van Vleuten had a dramatic crash descending in the final kilometres during the Olympic road race in Rio de Janeiro last year. However. This seemed to have no effect on her performance in today’s time trial. Going downhill after the climb in Birkelundsbakken she actually closed in on her opponents and finished strong to take her first ever individual time trial gold medal.

"To me, Bergen is the best place on earth right now", the winner said on the Press-conference after the race.

At the first intermediate check, van der Breggen took an early lead with Van Vleuten trailing just behind. Garfoot being further down the field at that point. Van der Breggen stayed in the lead until the third intermediate check. Van Vleuten showed her skills descending, gaining 16 seconds on van der Breggen from the top of Birkelundsbakken. Garfoot trailed the leading pair but was not able to gain the time needed in the end and it came down to the two Dutch contenders. Garfoot was happy about her consecutive bronze medal and the athomspehere in Bergen.

:It’s definitely a high-quality podium, and the atmosphere was amazing, so thanks Bergen for that. You can see it everywhere that we are in Norway, it's an absolutely stunning place to be, I’m really enjoying the atmosphere here, and I'm really enjoying the organisation of the race, it's been really smooth", said Garfoot after the race.

Heading for Festplassen both riders kept the same pace. Van Vleuten ended up 12 seconds ahead of van der Breggen making the 21.1 kilometres at 28:50.35 with an average speed of 43.8 km/h.

Men's and women's team time trials

Here's the UCI's report on these races. The results are directly below the report.

Team Sunweb was on fire today.

Team Sunweb have soared to victory in both the women’s and men’s team time trials at the 2017 UCI Road World Championships on Sunday, clinching gold twice in a single day on Bergen’s relentlessly undulating 42 kilometre time trial course.

First in the opening race of the World Championships on Sunday morning Team Sunweb’s women’s squad were the fastest, and then the men’s squad made it a double time trial triumph for Team Sunweb in the afternoon.

Gaps were much narrower in the women’s team time trial than in the 2016 World Championships in Qatar, where, over a course just two kilometres shorter, Boels-Dolmans beat Canyon-SRAM by 48 seconds and Cervélo-Bigla at 1-56.

This time round Team Sunweb had the edge on Boels-Dolmans by 12 seconds and Cervélo-Bigla repeated their bronze medal by finishing 28 seconds back, but well clear of fourth-placed Canyon-SRAM, 1-05 down.

In Bergen, Team Sunweb had had a very conservative start, crossing the first time check 15 seconds down on Cervélo-Bigla’s fastest time.

Boels-Dolmans, on the other hand, appeared to be getting stronger in the team time trial’s second half, moving to 15 seconds ahead of Team Sunweb. But with five kilometres to go, Team Sunweb had bounced back to within half a second of Boels-Dolmans and come the finish were ahead of the defending champions.

“None of us really expected this - we were going for the podium,” said Team Sunweb’s Ellen van Dijk. “It was so important not to overpace it on the climbs, because then you blow up the whole team. That was our strength today, and we used each other’s strengths in a really good way. It was incredible to win like that.”

Their male counterparts in Team Sunweb took an even tighter triumph in the afternoon, beating BMC Racing Team by a narrow eight seconds and Team Sky by 22 seconds.

Just like their bronze medallist counterparts in the women’s team time trial, Cervélo Bigla, Team Sky had made a very strong start, clocking the fastest early time ahead of defending champions Quick Step Floors.

However, the three kilometre Birkelundsbakken climb proved critical, as one of their Team Sky’s strongest time triallists, Geraint Thomas, lost contact. Despite four times Tour de France winner Chris Froome’s best efforts to keep the pace high, eventually Team Sky were forced to settle for a repeat of their bronze medal in the 2013 UCI Road World Championships.

Team Sunweb, though, had kept all their six men team together on the Birkelundsbakken climb and it proved vital in the second part of the time trial as they crowned the summit with a five second advantage on Team Sky. However, BMC Racing Team showed their strength in depth, too, as the American squad gained three seconds on Team Sunweb at the same checkpoint.

The descent back to the Festplassen and fast series of sweeping bends alongside Bergen’s docklands provided a last-minute twist to a thrilling finale, though, as BMC Racing Team’s fifth man began to struggle badly. The chinks at the end of their line of riders became wider and wider and finally, Team Sunweb celebrated a narrow but well-deserved triumph. Just as in 2016 when BMC Racing Team lost to Quick Step Floors, the World Team Time Trial Champion in 2014 and 2015 was forced to settle for silver once again.

“It's crazy. First the women, and now us. It's crazy,” said Team Sunweb’s Tom Dumoulin. “The team was so homogenous. It was absolutely amazing. We had a very good pace and kept it all the way to the line. We tried to keep together especially on the long climb, and that just about worked out - barely. It's the team event of the year, and we pulled it off."

Racing continues on Monday with the Junior Women’s Individual Time Trial, over 16.1 kilometres, and the Men’s U-23 equivalent event, which is 37 kilometres long.
