In this episode of How the Race Was Won, Dane Cash and Cosmo Catalano break down the thrilling action from the 2024 UCI Road World Championships in Zurich, Switzerland.

The men's elite race was dominated by an (un?)expected 100km solo breakaway from Tadej Pogačar, who secured his third major win of the year and completed the coveted Triple Crown of Giro/Tour/Worlds. Dane and Cosmo analyze Pogačar's bold strategy, the chaotic chase behind him, and the impressive teamwork displayed by the small Slovenian squad. They also discuss the performances of other favorites like Remco Evenepoel, highlighting the lack of coordination in the chase group that ultimately led to Pogačar's victory.

In the women's elite race, Lotte Kopecky successfully defended her title, showcasing her resilience by recovering from being dropped late in the race and winning in a sprint finish. The podcast concludes with a look ahead to Il Lombardia, where Pogačar will defend his title wearing the newly acquired rainbow jersey.
