Powerhouse solo ride from Belgian world champ too good for bronzed Aussie

Australian star Michael Matthews snatched a bronze medal as Belgian young gun Remco Evenepoel made the most of a sleepy peloton and a sleepless rival to power to a solo victory in the men’s road race at the UCI World Championship.

Until the final sprint for minor medals, the other main contenders were nowhere to be seen for most of the day, initially unaware they’d let Evenepoel get so far away up the road, given race radios are not used in the World Championships. Ahead of Matthews on Sunday, Christophe Laporte finished in second, and favourite Wout van Aert finished behind him in fourth.after less than an hour due, following a race-eve arrest for alleged assault at his Sydney hotel. Van der Poel allegedly pushed teenagers who’d knocked on his door late at night, and after being taken to the police station, got to bed at 4am.
