Hello and welcome to the washout that is the World Championships men's road race in Yorkshire!

Today's top 10.

New world champion Mads Pedersen: "Unbelievable. I didn't expect this when I started this morning. The plan was to get me out early so that Valgren and Fuglsang could come through in the final. But they didn't follow Van der Poel so I had my chance. It's every rider's dream to wear the rainbow jersey."

Michael Valgren took sixth before Alexander Kristoff won the sprint for seventh.

Italy's Gianni Moscon takes fourth at 17 seconds before a resigned Peter Sagan of Slovakia comes home for fifth place.

The 23-year-old had too much for Italy's Matteo Trentin, so it's Pedersen who wins it for Denmark. Switzerland's Stefan Kung is third at two seconds.

Victory for Mads Pedersen of Denmark!

They open it up with 200m to go...

Pedersen leads the trio onto the climb in Parliament Street, with Trentin and Kung behind.

Under the flamme rouge they go. It's between these three but who will win what medal?

Pedersen, Trentin and Kung in that order... until the Italian comes through. They're starting the cat and mouse - and Trentin knows that Moscon is 19 seconds behind...

Trentin takes a last swig from his bidon and then tosses it aside. It's his to lose. He's finished fourth before in the Worlds and so he should improve on that.

Sagan is being followed by Valgren behind.

Trentin is refusing to work, making Pedersen and Kung do it all. It's clever, but risky.

Sagan has attacked from behind! But it's clearly too little, too late.

Five to go... the pack still over a minute back.

Kung is in a world of pain as he rides clear with Trentin. Pedersen can't hold the wheel but is still there. If these three play their cards right, they all win a medal.

They're onto Oak Beck for the last time, which peaks at 10.9%. Trentin takes it up before Kung really dances on the pedals. And Moscon has popped!

It's been a brutal race and this relentless rain - the non-stop rolling terrain, and the sheer length, could cause an upset at the finish. It won't be a regular sprint, so even if Trentin appears to be the best bet, it's no done deal. Both Kung and Pedersen are capable of a long-pop, while Moscon, the bete-noir, would relish causing an upset.

Nils Politt is now burying himself on the front in a bid to pull this back for his teammate Degenkolb. But they have left this too late, surely. The gap is still 1'15".
