The 273.4km World Championship road race in Montreal saw American Brandon McNulty claim an unexpected gold medal, becoming the first American world champion since Lance Armstrong in 1993. With Tadej Pogačar absent due to a Vuelta crash, McNulty attacked early and maintained his lead despite challenges from favorites like Mathieu van der Poel and Primoz Roglic.
The Norwegian rider Jørgen Nordhagen finished 16th, while silver went to Michael Matthews and bronze to van der Poel. orlando-books.blog
