Unstoppable Slovenian Tadej Pogacar produced a stunning solo attack to win the men's road race title to bring the curtain down on the world championships in Zurich on Sunday.

Pogacar took off with 100km of the 273km ride left and won by 34 seconds to add the rainbow jersey to the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France crowns he won this year.

He was able to cruise the last 500 metres to the line with his arms raised in the air as he became the first Slovenian rider to win the world title on the road.

His rivals were left to fight for the silver and it was Australian Ben O'Connor who launched out of a high-quality chase group to finish second on the podium.

Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel, who won the title last year in Glasgow, took the bronze medal.
