UCI Road World Championships 2024: Elite men's road race contenders

Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar near the end of the 2023 UCI Road World Championships.

The 2024 UCI Road World Championships end with the elite men's road race on Sunday, September 29, the day after the elite women's race, creating a thrilling final weekend of rainbow jersey racing.

The 273.9 km Zurich road race route is finely balanced. Mathieu van der Poel, Mads Pedersen and others are convinced they can challenge Tadej Pogačar, Remco Evenepoel and other Grand Tour riders and at least fight for a medal. Pogačar is expected to dominate but could fall into a tactical trap from bigger and stronger teams.
