Vos reclaims women's road cyclng title

Dutch rider Marianne Vos recaptured the women's title on Saturday at the world road race championships, six years after her previous triumph. Vos, 27, won in a time of 3hr, 14min, 29sec with Australia's Rachel Neylan 10sec further back to take silver and Italy's Elisa Longo Borghini claiming bronze. Vos' success ended a soul-destroying run of five silvers as the Olympic champion dominated the 129km course, choosing her moment to escape 30km out from the line. She set a searing pace and did not relent even over the final 2km on the eighth and final ascent of the Cauberg climb, taking the wild acclaim of a partisan crowd at the finish.
