World Road Cycling Championships podium history

257.6 km

Average speed of winning rider: 40.979 km/hr.

171 Riders Started. 66 finished

Wet, cold rain the entire race. Started as drizzle, became heavier as the race progressed. Temperature in the low 60's (F).

Course: 14 laps of 18.4 km starting and finishing outside the city hall of Oslo. There were two climbs, the 4km Ryenberg, followed by the 2km Ekeberg, then 10km of downhill and flat.

The wet roads were very slippery, with many crashes, causing the riders to ride in a very cautious manner.
