What a World Championships!

The course that looked to be a sprinters course turned out to suit the classics rider due to the cobbled hills and short but punchy climbs that made a spring board for attacks in the final closing kilometers from the finish. 

Exciting races from the U23, Junior and women's races all set the scene for the Men's race where Peer Sagan took arguably the greatest win of his career so far by becoming the next wearer of the Rainbow Jersey.

Peter Sagan 2015 Elite Road World Champion

My personal favorite race would be the Mens U23 race. The final lap that was effected by rain made more an exciting racing on the cobbled sections where in the final selection was decided after a crash on the cobbled Libby Hill after a decisive attack  by two young Frenchmen  Ledanois and Turgis. Ledanois would go on to win in fine solo style and Turgis the final podium.
