 Lizzie Armitstead of Britain won a drag race to the finish with Anna van der Breggen to claim a breath-taking victory at the road cycling world championships on Saturday.

The pre-race favourite, Armitstead spent much of the 129.8km race back in the pack but, with just a kilometre to the finish line, powered to the front then timed her move perfectly as she added the rainbow jersey to her overall World Cup title.

Dutchwoman van der Breggen, runner-up in the women's time trial, settled for silver again while American Megan Guarnier took third, according to provisional results.

Defending champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot of France finished in the pack.
