Story summary

On September 24, Dutch cyclist Demi Vollering won the women's road race world title in Montreal, adding another prestigious victory to her already successful season. Earlier this year, she triumphed at the Women’s Tour de France and Giro d'Italia. During the final stages of the Montreal race, Vollering launched an attack with about 40km remaining but was reeled in by a chasing pack over the last two laps. She ultimately secured her win ahead of Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney, while Elisa Longo Borghini took bronze. The race saw significant challenges, including a crash involving 15 riders early on and the withdrawal of defending champion Magdeleine Vallieres due to injuries sustained in that incident.
