Feat of the Frenchman after 140 km of escape, silver for Morgado, bronze for Svrcek
Breakaway eight that is created in the first part of the race formed by: Antoine Huby, Axel Laurance (FRA), Lorenzo Milesi (ITA), Jack Rootkin-Gray (GBR), Moritz Kretschy (GER), Trym Brennsaeter (NOR), Brody Mcdonald (USA), Alastair Mackellar (AUS).
The main group led by Belgium fails to recover the attackers even inside the Glasgow circuit.
With 26 from the conclusion, the French Laurance tries the solitary attack, Morgado, Kretschy, Milesi, Svrcek and Rootkin-Gray launch after him. Laurance always manages to maintain a margin of fifteen seconds during the last lap, an advantage that is enough for him to keep the quintet behind him at a distance and to become world champion in his category.
The sprint for second place was won by the Portuguese Morgado , third place for Svrcek . Lorenzo Milesi after a generous test finishes fifth.
