CYCLING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: MEN'S ROAD RACE PREVIEW
Always one of the most exciting and eagerly anticipated races of the season, this year's edition follows a 254.8km rolling parcours that contains two climbs - the Alto de Montearenas (5.1km at an average of 3.5 per cent) and the Alto de Compostilla (1.1km at an average of 6.6 per cent) - but ends with a flat run to the finish, making it a difficult event to predict.The first climb is relatively easy, and effort where team support can be crucial, the second is much tougher with sections at around 10%. The descent after, could also be vital, as a solo attack over the top of the climb could be successful as there is only short run into the finish after the descent as finished.
On home roads, this could be the last chance for the talented Spanish climbing duo of Alejandro VALVERDE and Joaquim RODRIGUEZ – now 34 and 35 respectively – to finally land the world title they have been chasing for so any years.
But the favourite #1 is the Australian Simon GERRANS. He had come off two fantastic, dominant wins in Canada, the course suits him perfectly and he has an amazingly strong team here too. Being close to 100% of physical form, Gerrans is virtually impossible to drop in this kind of terrain and there is no doubt that he will be there in the finale. Furthermore, he is a very good sprinter.
Fabian CANCELLARA avoided the TT this year in order to focus on this race. The first descent is pretty tricky and while the Swiss may be unable to make a difference compared to the best climbers on the ascents, he could do so on the descents.
John DEGENKOLB is able to get over climbs and has one of the fastest finishes in the sport but hte German was admitted to hospital this week after wounds from a crash in Spain became infected, however, and it remains to be seen if he can recover in time for Sunday week.
Greg VAN AVERMAET has flown down the betting odds in recent days after two wins in his last two races. He nearly succeeded in Flanders this year and he seems to be shedding his eternal second tag. The Belgians come here with a tremendous squad that includes two former winners in Tom BOONEN and Phil GILBERT, plus the likes of Sep Vanmarcke, Johan Vansummeren, Jelle Vanendert and Tim Wellens, who are all capable of pulling something off.
Peter SAGAN’s poor performance in the Vuelta a Espana has made him drop down the list of favourites. Anyway, he is one of the strongest on this kind of climbs and if he had been at 100%, not even the best climbers would be able to drop him.
For Italy, there is no doubting that Vincenzo NIBALI is the leader. He can climb well and he's the best descender of the group. The squadra azzurra's option in a sprint finish looks set to be Filippo POZZATO. Fabio ARU need a very hard race if he wants to win while Sonny COLBRELLI could the surprise as he showed great form in recent races.
Rigoberto URAN will lead the Colombians. He was very unlucky in last year's race as he made the decisive move but then crashed in the descent. This race is a little easier though and it will be harder for the Colombians to excel.
As for Great Britain, Mark Cavendish is injured while Chris FROOME came out of the Vuelta in good form but has never shown a talent for one-day races like this. The captains will be Ben SWIFT, who has enjoyed a breakthrough season this year. Having demonstrated an ability to get over climbs at races like Milan-San Remo this year, the 26-year old looks ideally suited to this kind of parcours, and will be hopeful of a top ten.
A dark horse could be Alexander KRISTOFF. The Norwegian usually excels at the end of very long races and, in the Tour of Flanders, he showed his great climbing skills. Anothere man to watch is the reigning world champion Rui Costa. He has just 5 team-mates with him and hasn't had a great year so far.
Outsiders? Dan MARTIN is a good one day racer and is coming off the back of some solid Vuelta form whilst Tom Jelte SLAGTER leads a versatile Dutch team. KWIATKOWSKI, MEZGEC, GALLOPIN, NAVARDAUSKAS and
BAKELANDTS are other possible long shots.CYCLING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: MEN'S ROAD RACE BEST ODDS

Who are the Favorites?
Mathieu Van Der Poel is a Dutch rider for team UCI Professional Continental team Corendon-Circus. The 24-year old from Belgium is best known for winning the Cyclo-cross World Championship twice, in 2015 in Tabor and this year in Bogense. Van der Poel also won the 2018 Dutch National Road Race Championships and the 2019 versions of the Dwars door Vlaanderen, the Brabantse Pijl and the Amstel Gold Race. The Dutchman also placed 4th in the 2019 Tour of Flanders.
Peter Sagan is one of the most accomplished cyclists today. The 29-year-old Slovak won this race three straight times from 2015 to 2017. He also won the one day European Road Race Championships in 2016, The National Road Race championship from 2011-2015 and in 2018. Sagan also won the Tour of Flanders in 2016 and the Paris de Roubaix in 2018 plus many more classics races.
Julian Alaphilippe races for UCI team Quick-Step. This 27-year old from France is the brother of cyclist Bryan Alaphilippe and was the King of the Mountains of the 2018 Tour de France after winning the Mountains Classification category in the said race. Alaphilippe has won several one-day races this year including the Milan-San Remo, La Fleche Wallone ( back to back wins) and the Strade Bianche. Alaphilippe also won the Clasica de San Sebastian in 2018.
Uci World Championships 2019 Odds
Michael Matthews is a cyclist from UCI team Sunweb and hails from Australia. The 28-year old from Canberra won the Points Qualification category at the 2017 Tour de France and has stage wins in the Giro d’Italia (4), Vuelta a Espana (3) and Tour de France (2). When it comes to one-day races, Matthews won the GP de Quebec and GP de Montreal in 2018. In 2012, he also won the Clasica del Almeria.

Who Wins?
Uci World Championship Odds
Michael Mattews is having a fine 2019. The Aussie won two stages at the Tour de France, had a podium finish at the Grand Prix de Quebec and won gold in the world team time trial. He’s riding tremendously this season and couldn’t be overlooked in a one-day race like this. Wearing the colors of Australia, he is also a good pick to win this race. Likewise, the Belgian contingent led by Greg Van Avermaet boasts of the strongest contingent while Peter Sagan is always a threat to win this race. However, there is one rider that I fancy in this race.
Julian Alaphilippe has earned a reputation as one of the best one-day cyclists since turning professional in 2014. He is a yearly contender to win the Liege-Baston-Liege and the La Fleche Wallone which he won twice. A cycling crash prevented him from the 2019 Tour de France but he had a strong outing at 2019 Vuelta a Espana. Alaphilippe’s stage win there impressed his team director Cyril Guimard who later named Alaphilippe as the leader of the nine-man French contingent in Bergen. Because of that, I expect Alaphilippe to be in the mix if there is a breakaway in the final lap of this race. Prediction: Julian Alaphilippe
