Lorenzo Finn takes U23 World road title
If the U23 men's road race at the World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda is any guide to what we'll see for the elites this weekend, expect aggressive, attritional racing. Lorenzo Finn (Italy) escaped with 6 km to go after cracking the last of his breakaway companions and soloed home for the win, 31 seconds ahead of Switzerland's Jan Huber. Marco Schrettl of Austria followed :45 later for third.

He was joined by a number of others including the eventual podium finishers. Huber made a move at 30 km to go to drop all but Finn, who later did the dropping himself en route to a solo win. Finn also won last year's World Road Championships in the juniors category.
