After a late move from France's Julian Alaphilippe was brought back within the final kilometres,[2] Sagan outsprinted his rivals to win a third consecutive world title, the first male rider to do so. As well as this, he became the fifth man – after Alfredo Binda, Rik Van Steenbergen, Eddy Merckx and Óscar Freire – to win three elite road world championship titles.[3] European champion Alexander Kristoff from Norway took the silver medal, while the bronze medal went to Australian Michael Matthews.[1][4]
The race started in Rong and traversed 39.5 kilometres (24.5 miles) before reaching the finishing circuit in Bergen. After a further 17.9 kilometres (11.1 miles), the riders crossed the finish line on the Festplassen for the first time, with the riders completing eleven full laps of the circuit 19.1 kilometres (11.9 miles) in length.[5] The main feature of the circuit was the climb of Salmon Hill, about 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) into the lap; the climb was 1.5 kilometres (0.93 miles) long at an average gradient of 6.4%. At 267.5 kilometres (166.2 miles), the 2017 men's road race was the longest in the championships since 272.26 kilometres (169.17 miles) were covered in 2013.[6]
