KIGALI (Reuters) -Canada's Magdeleine Vallieres took a surprise gold in the women's road race at the UCI road world championships after a decisive attack on the final climb on Saturday.
The 24-year-old Vallieres was in a breakaway group with New Zealand's Niamh Fisher-Black and Spanish veteran Mavi Garcia at the climax of the 164km slog on a hilly Kigali circuit when she burst clear on the cobbles.
