Just a fortnight after the conclusion of the Tour de France Femmes in Pau, the best female riders in the world will be at it again on the streets of Glasgow on Sunday. The elite women's road race brings the curtain down on the road events at the World Championships, and with all eyes on them, explosive racing is guaranteed.

The 154.1km route takes in 2,229m of vertical ascent. Unlike the men's race, which started in Edinburgh, the women set off from Balloch, Loch Lomond, but then join the same route from the Crow Road climb and onto the 14.3km city circuit for 6 laps in Glasgow.
