After bronze medals in both 2009 and 2010,[1] Tony Martin won his first world championship title after setting the quickest time at each of the intermediate splits, before crossing the line in a time over a minute faster than anyone else. He caught and passed the two riders who started directly before him, David Millar and Mikhail Ignatiev, and came within 45 seconds of catching a third (Taylor Phinney).[2] The silver medal went to Great Britain's Bradley Wiggins, with the bronze medal going to four-time world champion Fabian Cancellara, who trailed Wiggins by 4.76 seconds[3] after making an error in the closing stages.[4]

Route edit

The riders completed two laps on a 23.2 km (14.4 mi) course in and around Copenhagen, for a total length of 46.4 km (28.8 mi).[5]
