A clear favourite and a surprise winner have been crowned world road race champions in Montréal. Two very different races, but their wins had one key thing in common: unwavering team cohesion.
In this episode of Unclipped, Grace explores how the Dutch women and the American men won the road races, and what set them apart from the rest of the field.
Demi Vollering was the outright favourite, while Brandon McNulty was a winner few had on their prediction lists. Grace looks at the Dutch decision to unify around their leader, and how the USA built numbers in the final hour.
She also asks whether stars like Isaac del Toro, without a team behind them, will ever get a fair shot at the rainbow jersey.
