American Brandon McNulty won the gold medal in the elite road race at the World Cycling Championships. In Montreal, Canada, the American preceded the Australian Michael Matthews and the Dutch Mathieu van der Poel. McNulty succeeds Pogacar, victorious in the last two editions. With a solitary action 32 km from the finish, the American left all the big names in place and triumphed in Montreal: he will be the one to wear the rainbow jersey. An incredible race, animated by attacks and counterattacks from 100km to the finish. Ninth place for Italy with Giulio Ciccone who kept up with the big names until the finish line. The 28-year-old is the first American world champion in 33 years: the last was Lance Armstrong. Fifth place for the Mexican Isaac Del Toro, the other favorites trailing behind: 12th place for Evenepoel, 15th place for Seixas. The other Italians: 18th Scaroni, 20th Piganzoli.
