Kazakh rider Alexey Lutsenko won the men\'s Under-23 cycling world road race title here on Saturday in a thrilling four-man sprint finish at the climax of the 177 kilometres race.
The 20-year-old, who rides for the Astana team\'s reserve outfit, just got the better of another 20-year-old Frenchman Bryan Coquard, who had to settle for silver as he had had to in the omnium track race at the London Olympics.
Belgium\'s Tom Van Asbroeck was a close third while Hugo Houle of Canada was fourth.
