Van Vleuten: I'm waiting for the moment someone tells me this is not true
Annemiek van Vleuten won the elite women's road race title at the UCI Road World Championships in Australia. She broke her elbow in a freak crash in Wednesday's mixed relay team time trial. Before that she had reduced herself to support duties for the Dutch team. Van Vluten is world champion for a second time after an equally stunning victory in Yorkshire in 2019. She will wear the rainbow jersey in the final season of her career. The 39-year-old will now wear it. "I wanted to do a Yorkshire 2.0 today, but that was not possible, and now I win it in last kilometre. Both have a story."
