Dutch ace Annemiek van Vleuten pulled off a major gamble on Saturday, launching a solo attack from 100km out to win the women's road race world title as huge, festive crowds cheered her home at Harrogate. It was her first world road race title as she beat her compatriot Anna van der Breggen, the 2018 champion, by 2min 15sec. Australia's Amanda Spratt took third a few seconds farther adrift. "Everyone was cheering for me along the way it was so exciting," said the sunny van Vleuten with a broad smile.
