Junior Mens Road Race ResultThursday 24 September Montral134.0km ten laps of 13.4km 2,690m climbing 84 finishers of 157Parc Jeanne-Mance winners average 39.49km/h overcast, 19CFreddie Winkley finished 46th and Hugh Og Mulhearne 70th in the junior mens road race at the UCI Road World Championships in Montral on Thursday 24 September, with Rian Mc Crystal among the 72 riders who abandoned.Benjamin Noval completed a junior double for Spain, adding the road race title to the time trial he won on Tuesday a feat Remco Evenepoel managed at Innsbruck in 2018 and one only a handful of riders have achieved. He came home alone in 3:23:35 at an average of 39.49km/h, 42 seconds clear of Simon Defrance of France, with Elias Wandel taking bronze for Sweden at 2:12 from a group that also contained Owen Kings and Michael Hettegger.Winkley (bib 108) was the leading Irish rider, 6:20 down after ten laps of the Mount Royal circuit, having also been the better of the Irish pair in Tuesdays time trial in 46th. Mulhearne (107), riding his first event of the championships, came home 70th at 11:42.Mc Crystal (106) saw his first world championship road race end early. A mechanical after 5km put him out the back of the peloton and, despite chasing for several laps, he never regained contact. He had finished 52nd in Tuesdays time trial.It was pretty tough, it was quite hard from the start, Winkley said afterwards. I was feeling okay but I couldnt really get my positioning right and ended up yo-yoing off the back in the second half of the race, and with two laps to go I just blew the lights.Mulhearne, a second-year junior riding the first Worlds event of his career, said: That was definitely a tough day out, a battle of survival all day. I felt like I just had one speed. On the longer climb I was quite happy with myself, then the problem on the two shorter, punchier climbs was that I couldnt punch out over them. I was just dieseling all day. Its not what I was hoping for this morning, but theres no point dwelling on it or making excuses you just have to move forward.The circuit again took a heavy toll. Riders were shelled out the back almost immediately, the first climb arriving just past the opening corner, and of 157 starters only 84 were classified 72 abandons and one non-starter over the 134km and 2,690m of climbing. That is much the same attrition as the womens under-23 race earlier in the day, where 47 of 113 riders pulled out.Five Irish riders are in action on Friday. Liam OBrien, Adam Rafferty, David Gaffney and Seth Dunwoody ride the under-23 mens race in the morning, followed by Emer Heverin in the junior womens race in the afternoon.Irish RidersIRLIrish Riders
