274km of racing. Over 4,300m of elevation. A rampaging Tadej Pogačar. It was not the easiest of introductions for Great Britain’s Oscar Onley to the world of World Championships road races on Sunday.
The 21-year-old, however, held his nerve through his baptism of fire in Zürich. After sticking with what was left of the peloton as the bunch was severely whittled down, Onley was the last British rider standing, and was even part of a promising move with Latvia’s Toms Skujiņš and Ireland’s Ben Healy at a key point of the race.
