Pogakar said: “I find myself in front and I tried to have a good difference around a minute, it’s a comfortable difference. I don’t think it was super chief, REMCO was super good and always chasing me. I could not give up to the finish line. I am happy that this is another title!”
The race was billed as one Three-way fight between three heaviest hits of PelotonPogacker, unfortunate and New-music Vulta an aspana champion Jonas winggardRacing in Danish national colors for the first time at the elite level.
But winggard, who did not end the one -day race since Il Lombardia in 2022, was out of his depth and dropped with more than 100 km to leaving, eventually left the race as he was struggling in a porous area.
Belgium and France attempted to separate Pogakara from their Slovenian colleagues in the first half of the race, with frequent attacks to successfully remove the danger of Joao Almeda of Portugal, but unable to provoke any loss to their main goal, Pogkar himself.
Tabpoel then attacked the third and final route of the largest climb of the race, 7 km Kota Day St.-Romeman-De-Rips, but clung to his wheel before countering the most stable gradients of Pogakar climb.
With a 75 km race to run the world champion, it was on its own, quickly establishing a 30-second difference for his followers: Impel, Sixas, Christian Scoroni of Italy and Juan Ayuso of Spain.
While this difference came down by 22 seconds at one point, it came out for more than a minute within the last quarter of the race as Pogakar took himself to the finish line.
As the World Championship, Nanpel saw the strongest and the last few hundred meters in the chasing quarter with a small but vertical quota de’Anaper, to go 38 km, he got away from his peers. The attack made the remaining three liberated, which started working well together, but Three times world time trial champion Quickly walked out of sight and eventually ended over three minutes of Sexas.
The 19 -year -old, which was born just 86 km in Leon, managed to leave Ayuso with 5 km remaining – for the joy of the people of the French fans on the roadside – and when Scoroni excavated deeply to stay on his wheel on the final climb, the French celebrated him on the last dynasty and celebrated him as a brilliant bronze as he came in the entire line.

“I wanted to try to go early and could have the final part of myself, to ensure victory. And also, because we had such a good race with the whole team, I really wanted to finish it for them.”
Elisa Longo Borghini, Niviadoma, and Van Der Brezzen, Italy, chased, although Longo Borghini was removed on the descent to ensure that the podium was decided – although not necessarily the order.
Dutchwuman van der Braggen did not provide any assistance to chase Niewiadoma and hung back as a pole for silver, later said, “If I have been sitting on someone’s wheel for a long time, I have not been going to steal medals since that time.
“The main goal was a win with Demi. That I have to complete the podium with bronze is the result of a good bonus and a strong team.”
Victory for Vollering means that Dutch now lives nine out of 10 European road races, as after the cycling calendar, his incredible team’s strength and intelligent strategic views have put their rivals for a sword in Drome-Ade.
