Highlights from Wollongong, Australia, where the world’s top men’s cyclists are aiming to conquer their rivals – and the 267km course – to claim the road race world title.

Britain’s team is set to include Tom Pidcock, who has already won the world cyclo-cross title and the European mountain bike crown in 2022, and will be trying to add a road title to his eclectic haul of honours. And having won a stage of this year’s Tour de France on the legendary Alpe d’Huez, the climb up Mount Keira on Australia’s south eastern coast won’t faze the Yorkshire rider.

Commentary comes from Simon Brotherton and Chris Boardman.
