Cycling World Championship 2026

Great women's road race just finished.

Won by Vollering from NL in a close sprint with riders from POL/ITL

Nice bit of swearing in her post race interview

Great circuit course in Montreal

Men's road race tomorrow
Caught the final 90 minutes it was a great race, excellent course and those ladies gave it everything…

I liked the frustrated commentators when we got an extended helicopter view of Montreal missing the attacks going on underneath on the hill 😂😂😂

What a race. Special nod to Matteo Jorgenson, perfect spoiling race for the USA, great result for McNulty. But just so much fun to watch 10 world class cyclists give everything they have over a perfect championship course.

273kms .... 6hrs17mins .... wow .... bonkers attack after attack after attack .... until they let Brandon McNulty get away, while those chasing kept looking at each other, then almost caught him, then backed off, then got to 10 seconds, then backed off again, as not one of them wanted to really commit themselves as they'd drag along & assist the other big names, which included 2 other American riders marking any moves for their leader/compatriot. Tom Pidcock, so strong, did some really impressive work to get those chasing up to the McNulty, but alas it was not to be.

The chasers got within 10 seconds & then sat up, some might be kicking themselves.
Great race though.
Think they were mashed and thought I won’t get anything if I push as another of these w***ers on my wheel will take advantage…

So much better without team radios they just got to trust their gut and a lot more attacking going on. Fantastic course

He needed a bigger longer mountain to get up and break away
Maybe. I don't think he quite had the legs for it today but it was a good effort all in all. Fair play to Brandon McNulty for his victory. Smart race by him.

It’s getting that right blend of team and individuals that’s the hard part for most countries. USA managed it today, but hadn’t won since Armstrong in ‘93.
Brits have only ever won 1 gold (Tommy Simpson), and 2 medals for Mark Cavendish..
