Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar produces a stunning solo ride to win his first world road race title in Switzerland and cap a 'perfect season'.
Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar produced a stunning solo ride in Switzerland to claim his first world road race title - and become only the third man to win cycling's 'Triple Crown' of the men's Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and world title in the same year.
Pogacar quickly bridged a gap to a breakaway group before hitting the front on his own with 50km to go and maintained his advantage in the closing kilometres, leaving the field to fight for the minor medals. "After a perfect season it was really a big goal to win a world championship and I just can't believe it happened."
Pogacar finished in six hours, 27 minutes and 30 seconds - 34 seconds clear of Australia's Ben O'Connor, who broke off the front of the chasing pack to claim silver.
