Demi Vollering won the elite women's road race world title in Montréal on 26 September. The Dutch rider beat Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney in the final sprint of the 180.1-kilometre race to claim her first road world championship.
Enough strength left for the sprint
The official UCI competition page scheduled the elite women's road race for Saturday, while the official Tissot timing page records the distance as 180.1 kilometres. Vollering and Niewiadoma-Phinney remained at the front in the finale before the Dutch rider settled the contest in the sprint.
