Weather at the finish city of Zurich at 2:20 PM, local time: 15C (59F), cloudy, with the wind from the east at 13 km/hr (8 mph). There is just a 1% chance of rain.

The race: Guillaume Boivin (Canada) did not start. After crashing early in the race Julian Alaphilippe (France) abandoned. Mikel Landa (Spain) abadoned soon thereafter.

Here's the UCI's race report:

The 2024 UCI Road and Para-cycling Road World Championships concluded in spectacular fashion on Sunday with Tadej Pogačar claiming the final rainbow jersey of the nine-day event in Zurich, Switzerland. The Slovenian won the Men Elite road race with a monumental ride marked by a daring attack with more than 100km remaining. His victory caps off a historic season, including victories at the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France.

Joining a breakaway that emerged earlier on the seven laps of the city circuit - and that included Pogačar’s fellow Slovenian Jan Tratnik - Pogačar dropped the last rival remaining on his wheel, France’s Pavel Sivakov, with 51.5km to go and rode to victory on his own. After 273.9km of racing (with 4,470m of elevation) starting from Winterthur, Australia’s Ben O’Connor took the silver medal (+34’’) with the 2023 UCI World Champion, Dutchman Mathieu Van der Poel (+58’’), winning the sprint for third place.

Into the last hour of the race. Remco Evenepoel and I think Quinn Simmons are here in the third group, 1min 24sec behind an escaped Tadej Pogacar.

“I cannot believe what just happened, after this kind of season,” Pogačar reacted. “I put a lot of pressure on myself for today. The race unfolded pretty quick and there was a dangerous breakaway in the front and I maybe did a stupid attack but luckily Jan was there with me and I never gave up. It’s an incredible day.

“I don’t know what I was thinking, I went with the flow and luckily I made it, but it was super tough,” he added after yet another historic feat.

A couple of weeks after his most recent win, in the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal, Pogačar’s title is his 23rd victory in a season he began early March with an 81km solo victory in the Strade Bianche.

He delivers the first Elite UCI rainbow jersey for Slovenia, after previous titles for Janez Brajkovič (Men Under 23 individual time trial in 2004) and Matej Mohorič (Men Junior road race 2012 and Men Under 23 road race 2013), and notably claims a ‘Triple Crown’ - Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, UCI World Championships - only achieved previously by Belgium’s Eddy Merckx (1974) and Ireland’s Stephen Roche (1987).

Weather at the finish city of Zurich at 2:30 PM, local time: 12C (53F), rain, with the wind from the west at 5 km/hr (3 mph). There is a 77% chance that the rain will continue, dropping to 41% at 4:00 PM.

The race: Before the start there was a minute's silence in memory of Muriel Furrer, the Swiss cyclist who died yesterday. The championships are continuing with the blessings of Furrer's family.

Rotem Gafinovitz (Israel) did not start.

Here's the UCI's race report:

A rainy day in Zurich, Switzerland, delivered two spectacular rainbows when Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky powered to a second successive title in the Women Elite road race while the Netherlands’ Puck Pieterse took the Women Under 23 title at the UCI Road and Para-cycling Road World Championships.

Kopecky is the first rider to win the event two years in a row since Marianne Vos did so in 2012 and 2013. She’s also won six UCI World Champion titles on the track.

The USA’s Chloé Dygert and Italy’s Elisa Longo Borghini completed the Elite podium. Australia’s Neve Bradbury and Germany’s Antonia Niedermaier took the Women Under 23 silver and bronze medals behind Pieterse.

Kopecky dedicated her first words after the race to Switzerland’s Muriel Furrer, who passed away on Friday after suffering serious injuries in a fall during Thursday’s Women Junior road race: “First of all, I want to bring my condolences to the family of Muriel,” said Kopecky.

She then described the ups and downs she experienced during Saturday’s road race before sprinting to victory.

“From three laps to go, I was actually freezing,” the Belgian said. “But I tried to keep my head as cool as possible and I didn’t have any troubles but on the longer one (climb), when Demi [Vollering] went, I had some difficulties but I tried to keep my own pace and come back. In the end, it was a lot of mind games. A rider [Elisa Longo Borghini] came from the back with speed and Demi replied immediately, which was perfect for me.”

The 154.1km race opened up early and the relentless pace led to some very intense racing on the four laps of the closing city circuit (26.9km). Oranje jerseys were highly visible, recognisable not only due to their distinctive orange colour, but also the aggressive tactics of the riders wearing them.

Three Dutchwomen - Demi Vollering, Marianne Vos and Riejanne Markus - were among the nine athletes at the front into the last 10 kilometres. Vollering gave it her all to get rid of her rivals, but there were still six riders in the sprint for victory. Kopecky proved to be the strongest.

In the group sprinting for 10th place, Pieterse (13th) was the first Under 23 rider to cross the line, claiming the rainbow jersey ahead of Bradbury (15th) and Niedermaier (18th), also part of the same group.

Wednesday, September 25: Team Time Trial Mixed Relay, Zurich - Zurich, 53.7 km

Tour of Flanders, the Inside Story

Les Woodland's book Tour of Flanders: The Inside Story - The rocky roads of the Ronde van Vlaanderen is available in print, Kindle eBook and audiobook versions. To get your copy, just click on the Amazon link on the right.

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

The team time trial mixed relay, the final time trial event of the 2024 UCI Road and Para-cycling Road World Championships, was dominated by Australia’s Michael Matthews, Ben O’Connor, Jay Vine, Grace Brown, Brodie Chapman and Ruby Roseman-Gannon on Wednesday. With a time of 1h12’52’’ to cover 53.7km around Zurich (Switzerland), they powered to the gold medal in the most thrilling fashion.

Marco Brenner, Miguel Heidemann, Maximilian Schachmann, Franziska Koch, Liane Lippert and Antonia Niedermaier took silver for Germany with a gap of 0.85 seconds. Italy completed the podium with Edoardo Affini, Mattia Cattaneo, Filippo Ganna, Elisa Longo Borghini, Soraya Paladin and Gaia Realini (+8’’).

Each national team took on two laps (one for the three men, then one for the three women) on the 26.9km city circuit that will see the peloton battle for the rainbow jersey in the road races from Thursday until Sunday.

The Germans took the strongest start, but the Australians led the way after the first loop. Italians got in the mix and all three teams were within 5’’ after 38km… Brown and her teammates eventually sealed the deal with the closest margin, delivering a new UCI world title for Sunday’s women’s individual time trial (ITT) winner just before retiring.

Here's the complete podium: Sirotti photo

“I think I’m feeling a little bit greedy, I need a few more rainbow jerseys in my closet,” Grace Brown said with a smile. She is the first rider to win both the ITT and the team time trial mixed relay in the same edition of the UCI Road Worlds. “This one is really nice, doing it with the whole Aussie crew,” she added.

“It was a hard one,” Michael Matthews said. “Jay [Vine] put me to the sword straight away: on that first climb, I think we averaged 650 watts from bottom to the top… There wasn’t much recovery so we just tried to stay together as much as possible as a team. We came through with the fastest time and then we knew we had a strong women’s team to finish it off.”

Complete results: 53.7 kilometers raced at an average speed of 44.218 km/hr

Here's the report from winner Remco Evenepoel's Team Soudal Quick-Step:

Remco Evenepoel took his third gold medal of the season, this time in Zurich, where he produced a superb ride that confirmed he is one of the finest time trialists in the history of the sport. Last year, Remco became World Champion of the discipline for the first time in his career, and now he repeated that success, less than two months after triumphing at the Olympic Games in Paris, where he signed off an incredible road race – time trial double.

The Soudal Quick-Step rider came at the start on the famous Oerlikon Velodrome – where the Züri-Metzgete used to finish – as the red-hot favourite and didn’t need too much time to show there was a reason of that, setting an early benchmark after a strong first leg of the 46.1km race. Evenepoel kept the power also at the next two intermediate splits, padding his advantage over closest rival Filippo Ganna (Italy) before the fast final segment of the day.

Already victorious in four individual time trials this season, Remco dominated the hilly race around Zurich and concluded with a time of 53:01 thanks to a remarkable 52.15km/h average speed, writing history as he became the first male rider to win the Olympics and Worlds ITT in the same year.

“I’m incredibly happy with the fact I successfully defended my time trial World title! It was a pretty tough day for me, I would go as far as saying it was the hardest time trial of my career, but I was motivated to do my best and I’m proud with the way I rode. I pushed quite hard on the second small climb of the day and I went all-out on the downhill as well. As I said, it wasn’t easy, but now I am so happy that I could pull it off and take gold at the Worlds after doing the same at the Olympics”, said Evenepoel after his great day on Swiss soil.
