Cycling race
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Men's road race of the 2019 UCI Road World Championships was a cycling event that took place on 29 September 2019 in Yorkshire, England.[2] The race was initially scheduled to be contested over 280 kilometres (170 miles),[3] but due to flooding on the course,[4] the race was reduced to 260.7 kilometres (162.0 miles).[1] The wet weather also meant there was a limited broadcast coverage of the race.
