Road cycling began as an organised Sport in 1868. The first World Championships were held in 1893 and it has been a part of the Olympics in the whole of the modern era. Road Cycling has 2 main types of competition - the Road Race and the Time Trial.
In a Road Race, the riders start together in a bunch. The courses are of varying distances (approx. 260 km for Elite Men and 140km for Elite Women in the UCI World Championships).
Road Races have several different formats. They can be held on a circuit in which riders race over numerous laps like in the UCI Road World Championships; over one-day from one point to another like the Paris to Roubaix Race; or in Stage races in which riders race on consecutive days like the Tour de France.
In the Individual Time Trial the riders set off 1-2 minutes apart, with the reigning Champion leaving last. Without the motivation of other riders around them and the slipstream advantage of bunch riding, the time trial competitor must rely on huge mental strength to keep up the pace and cover the course in the fastest time possible. At the UCI World Championships and Olympic Games, the individual time trial is raced over 40-50 km for Elite Men and 20-30 km for Elite Women.
In a Team Time Trial the principle is the same as for the individual, but teams of between 2 and 10 riders who remain together along the course race this event. The team time trial is on the programme at the UCI Road World Championships as of 2012 (6 riders per team) and is open to UCI ProTeams, UCI Professional Continental Teams, UCI Continental Teams and UCI Women’s Teams. - Sport
@6:07 Gilbert is toast and flicks his elbow asking for help but he gets none... and yet he keeps going on for his teammate. if any of the others taken a few pulls they would have caught Kwiatkowski. if Gerrans had jumped from a long way out he would've caught him. all in all a great gutsy move by the Pole.
Kwiato is the best Polish cyclist in history! I hope that this will happen sometime
great Victory for michal kwiatkowski

Michal slowed up at the line, because he was thinking of the poster that would be made from the finishing photo, and he wanted the others to be in the photo, as if he outsprinted them, rather than just a boring solo win. .
+1stPlaceDirector What?! A boring solo win? Dude, there's nothing more majestic than to outrace a group of riders on your own. Just look at how Peter Sagan won last year. Maybe he would have been able to outsprint the others if he stayed in the group, but instead he took a risk by going in a solo breakaway. That takes balls, mister.
+Whalturk I would say that I was misinterpreted. I didn't mean to say flat out, that a solo win is boring. It's exciting to cyclists to watch the chase in the closing kilometers, in many cases. I was thinking in terms of a spectacular photographic finish and in that sense, a solo finish is about a boring a photograph as you can ever see, contrasted against a bunch finish photo. When I was racing, I often thought of coming across the line with the pack on my heels in an exciting photo finish, maybe after a long breakaway finishing with poster quality finish with top GC contenders sucking wind in the background. Now that would be exciting. Sorry.. a Walter Mitty moment, ha.
1stPlaceDirector Oh, yeah. In that case I misinterpreted your point. I see what you're saying, in terms of an action-filled photo, a solo win isn't that exciting to look at.

the female commentator was bad as
KKK
Sagan will eat him alive :) not to mention his move to congratulate every competitor as a fair play. Where is lucky Kwiatkowski... ? Just shadow... sorry to say.
