Story of the day
At the Worlds Men’s Road Race, a six-rider breakaway formed early. Riders from the peloton repeatedly launched counterattacks, though only Garcia Pierna managed to join the leaders. On the Mont Kigali, the break was caught, and Pogacar attacked, with only Ayuso able to follow. Del Toro joined them in the descent. Shortly after, on the Mur de Kigali, Ayuso dropped. With 66 km to go Del Toro also lost contact, leaving Pogacar solo to claim his second consecutive victory. Only 30 riders finished.

Not sure how many riders started but 80% DNF would be 150 riders at the start. Sounds about right.Story of the day

The men's race played out much differently than the woman's with the climb at 100km left. That turned the men's race into a whole bunch of small groups on the road.Story of the day

The woman's was also very hard, but both France and the Dutch played it like they could bring it back the leaders. Only issue was all their domestiques were cooked by they time they needed to bring the leaders back. There was one point with about 40 kms left (don't quote me on the distance) where the Vollering/France/Dygert group let the lead balloon to 1:45 from 45 second which was effectively the end of their race with 10-15 other riders up the road.
I do love a race though where a guy (Piddock) bonks off close to 10 minutes in short order. That's when you know how hard the race is.
Gonna be busy with 7 races in 10 days....personally I think George bit off a little too much.

End of season with a bunch of races upcoming. Also with it being a loop, it's real easy to bail when you don't need a lift to the finish.

Tadej won with a three minute 8.6 W/kg attack. If I do the math here with my weight I get...

Yep, that's accurate.
