GLASGOW: Mathieu van der Poel became the first Dutch world road race champion for nearly 40 years with a masterful ride around the rain-drenched streets of Glasgow on Sunday .
Van der Poel then stepped up the power but had a heart-in-the-mouth moment when he crashed on a greasy corner that left him with a ripped shirt and a damaged shoe. The former cyclocross world champion is the first Dutchman to win the rainbow jersey on the road since Joop Zoetemelk in 1985. Belgium's Van Aert was second with Slovenia's two-time Tour de France winner Pogacar pipping Pedersen for bronze.
Italian Alberto Bettiol caught everyone napping at a feed zone when he launched an attack with around four circuits remaining and built up a dangerous lead.
