ZURICH (Reuters) – Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky won a thrilling women’s road race to retain her world title on a rain-drenched Zurich course on Saturday.
The 154km battle was whittled down to a high-calibre group on the final city circuit.
But it was Kopecky who sprinted across the line to make it back-to-back victories after she triumphed in Glasgow last year.
American Chloe Dygert took the silver medal with Italian Elisa Longo-Borghini finishing in third place.
