Live stream 2017 elite men world championships road race

On Sunday, Peter Sagan (Slovakia) will aim to take a historic third consecutive world championship title in the elite men’s road race. The peloton of riders from around the world will duke it out over 267 km.

The race begins with a 39 km route into Bergen where the peloton will then take on 11 laps of the circuit which features the Salmon Hill climb (1.5 km at 6.5 per cent). The course is a perfect one on which Sagan can get the hat trick. No one has ever won three worlds titles in a row and the last rider to get a hat trick was Spaniard Oscar Friere from 1999-2004. Spring aces like Greg van Avermaet (Netherlands), Philippe Gilbert (Belgium) and Michal Kwiatkowski (Poland) will be a threat to Sagan’s ambitions. Home favouritea Alexander Kristoff and Edvald Boasson Hagen are hoping to get a famous win.
