Race report
A crash at 95 kilometres diminishes the pack, but all favourites are stil on board. The race opens up in the penultimate lap with Alison Powers attacking. Rachel Neylan takes over, but she´s brought back when the bell rings for the last lap.
Blaak, Ratto, Neylan and two others attack, but the Dutch squads brings them back. Despite several attacks no rider is able to break free.
At the closing climb Emma Johansson intiates an ultimate attack with Vos, Longo Borghini and Armitstead closing in. A chasing group of ten brings them back in the final kilometre and Pauline Ferrand Prévot takes the world title on the line.
