That's it from us, folks - thanks for staying tuned. What a race that was, what a win from the Dutch Woman.

It's now a sprint from the peloton, led by Marianne Vos, who crosses at the front of the main group

American rider Chloe Dygert Owen rides across the line in fourth place exhasuted after an heroic effort in her attempt to reel in Van Vleuten earlier

And here riding for third place comes the Australian rider, Amanda Spratt - last year's silver medal will get the bronze

And here comes Anna van der Breggen for silver - a fantastic one two for the Dutch team

Annemiek van Vleuten takes gold! She is the World Road Race Champion

There'll be some very happy Dutch fans today, not to mention within the team

Annemiek van Vleuten is smiling in these final kilometers as she points to her lucky earrings for the cameras, knowing she's about to take the World Champion title

Here's that attack by Anna van der Breggen just now

Annemiek van Vleuten is still expanding the time gap between her and the riders behind with less than 4km to go. What a ride from this Dutch athlete.

Anna van der Breggen has kicked on the hill, leaving Amanda Spratt in her wake. It looks like we could see a Dutch one two today

Chloe Dygert Owen has now dropped behind Anna van der Breggen and Amanda Spratt, so the battle for second and third place is between the Dutch and Australian riders

British rider Lizzie Deignan has lost the chance of a medal in today's race, as she rejoins the main peloton, five minutes behind leading rider van Vleuten, and two minutes behind the three chasing riders

Chloe Dygert Owen has been caught by Anna van der Breggen and Amanda Spratt, so the battle is on for second and third place between the three

Lizzie Deignan has been caught by the main peloton after her long solo effort

And here she is

Annemiek Van Vleuten's solo breakaway is an incredible athletic feat and perhaps the longest in modern history - beginning with around 106km to go. The 36-year-old Dutch rider won the Giro Rosa this and last year, this year also winning the points and mountain classifications, as well as two stages, and this year was the national Time Trial champion in the Netherlands.

She won the Strade Bianche, and Liege-Baston-Liege this year, too.

She is now on her final lap of this race, and is set to become the world champion.

Annemiek Van Vleuten is now 2'12" over Chloe Dygert Owen with just over a lap to go

Amanda Spratt and Anna Van Der Breggen have broken away from Elisa Longo Borghini, in the battle for third place in this World Championship race

Deignan is working her socks off on the roads around Harrogate right now
