Ben Healy ended up in 10th. The 3rd world champs in a row (and 4th global event when you include the Olympics) that he has finished in the top 10. He gave it everything today 🚲🇮🇪
The men’s cycling road race world championships is one of the best races I’ve ever seen. Every single top 15 rider has had multiple attacks 🚲
