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.
He calmly remounted and managed to extend his lead to more than a minute in front of huge crowds, many in Dutch colours. Belgium's Van Aert had to settle for a fourth world silver medal on the road with Slovenia's two-time Tour de France winner Pogacar outsprinting Pedersen for bronze. "When I went away, I didn't expect to have a gap but then when I saw nobody was following it gave me wings and I was just flying around the course. Until the crash.The 271-km race, which started in Edinburgh and ended with an unprecedented 10 laps around Glasgow's city centre, was halted for nearly an hour after 80km of riding when protesters from environmental group This Is Rigged blocked the road ahead.
But once Van der Poel, Pogacar, Van Aert and Pedersen organised the chase it was curtains for the Italian and the stage was set for the three biggest names in the sport, along with 2019 world champion Pedersen, to fight for gold.
