Dygert battled back repeatedly to take second in a sprint to the line.
The 2024 UCI Road and Para-Cycling Road World Championships in Zurich
Switzerland continued Saturday morning with the Women’s Elite Road Race
covering a total distance of 154.1 kilometers
the Elite Women’s Road Race began at 12:45 PM local time
The riders first circled Greifensee before tackling four laps of the Zurich circuit
With several punchy climbs along the route
An early breakaway of three riders tried to get away but were reeled back in
Niamh Mary Fisher-Black (NZL) launched an attack
The peloton splintered in the effort to chase them down
Five Americans remained in the chase group as the riders approached the 80-kilometer mark
A few additional riders bridged to the front which meant the lead group was now made up of 11 riders
but the race came back together once again at 74 kilometers to go
The Dutch continued to make attack after attack hoping to split things apart yet again
Ind.; CANYON//SRAM Racing) was right at the front and responded
the peloton had thinned to fewer than 50 riders
and Lauren Stephens (Dallas; Cynisca Cycling)
As the race turned into a battle of attrition
the steep climbs continued to force riders off the back
staying on high alert as Demi Vollering (NED) launched attack after attack on the climbs
The group had dwindled down again with the front group now being less than 30 people
Riejanne Markus (NED) launched an attack out of the lead group
with Justine Ghekiere (BEL) quickly following
including multi-time World Champion Marianne Vos (NED) and Ruby Roseman-Gannon (AUS)
and three additional riders joined the front
Dygert and Lotte Kopecky (BEL) missed the initial move but kept pushing hard to make the connection
Dygert dropped Kopecky and soloed up to the break
Kopecky and Vos rejoined the now nine-rider front group
Elisa Longo Borghini (ITA) launched an attack
Dygert bridged up with Roseman-Gannon as the race approached the final sprint
and Borghini rounding out the podium in third
Stephens was the second American to finish
Faulkner took 35th and Ruth Edwards (Nederland
Colo.; Human Powered Health Cycling) snagged 62nd

Remco Evenepoel: Top facts you might not know about Belgium's cycling phenomThe 2022 road world champion used to play football and is also a strong runner
but did you know that one of his sporting idols is a multiple Olympic champion
Evenepoel is the a favourite in both the time trial and road race after his showing at Paris 2024
The Belgian comes in as the defending time trial world champion too
and having finished third overall at the Tour de France this year can clearly hang with the climbers – something he will have to do with over 4,400m of altitude gain set on this road race course
His hopes in the road race have perhaps been affected by the news that Belgian teammate Wout van Aert has been ruled out for the season after the latter took a heavy tumble on a wet downhill at the Vuelta a España
Of course, the name on everyone's lips to challenge Evenepoel and perhaps take his first rainbow jersey is Tadej Pogacar
The Slovenian recently secured a solo win at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montreal and heads to Zurich in top form after resuming racing following his Tour de France victory
although the sheer amount of climbing to be done might be a stretch too far for the Dutchman
and Stefan Küng to also be challenging Evenepoel
ExclusiveMen's Road Race | Cycling Road | Olympic Games Paris 2024The Men's Cycling Road Road Race was held on 03/08/2024 around Trocadero
Valentin Madouas (FRA) took Silver and Christophe Laporte (FRA) completed the podium
Australia's Brown is the reigning Olympic time trial champion
having claimed gold on a wet day in Paris as some of the other favourites struggled
It is her final pro season and an Olympic-World Championships double would certainly be some way to sign off
who ended up with Olympic bronze after a crash on the slippery Parisian roads
will want to make up for her disappointment from the Games
It remains to be seen whether Great Britain's Anna Henderson
who took Olympic silver but then crashed out of the Tour de France Femmes last month
has recovered sufficiently to race in Zurich
Brown and Dygert are both also entered in the women's road race
as is the Olympic road race champion Faulkner
Kopecky is the defending champion from Glasgow
while Niewiadoma and Vollering finished the Tour de France Femmes first and second respectively and can hold their own over the climbing required
ExclusiveHighlightsWomen's Road Race | Cycling Road | Olympic Games Paris 2024The women's Cycling Road Road Race was held on 04/08/2024 around Trocadero
Marianne Vos (NED) finished 2nd and took Silver while Lotte Kopecky (BEL) completed the podium
Both men's and women's elite time trials feature a little bit of climbing
with the women gaining 327 vertical metres over 29.9km from Gossau to Zurich and the men 413m over 46.1km from Oerlikon to Zurich
The same climbs will feature on both races
with the men racing a little longer around Zurich before reaching the hilly portion of the route
The road races promise to be a different beast
Both the women and men will endure more climbing than they did last year in Glasgow
on routes that begin in Uster and Winterthur respectively and end in Zurich
The women's road race features one lap of a loop around the Greifensee lake before heading to the city circuit around Zurich
which will be ridden four and a half times
That circuit includes a short 782m but sharp climb of the Zürichbergstrasse
which at its steepest features gradients of nearly 16 per cent (and an average climb of 8.6 per cent)
as well as a climb to the Witikon quarter of the city (1.9km at 6.2 per cent)
the distance of the race for the women is the same as they competed in Glasgow in 2023
but at 2384m of altitude gain features an extra 155m of vertical climbing
the men begin with a ride around Winterthur circuit northeast of Zurich
featuring climbs up to Buch am Irchel (4.8km at 4.2 per cent) and at Kyburg (1.3km at 10.1 per cent)
before joining the same city circuit for seven and a half laps
the men's elite road race has a distance of 273.9km – around 3km longer than last year – with a painful 4,470m of climbing

A Neolithic shoe dating back to around 3300-2800 B.C
The shoe was found by divers in Lake Greifensee at Maur near Zurich
the Swiss News Agency SDA-ATS reported on Tuesday
The Stone Age sites on the shores of lakes around Zurich are some of the most important archaeological sites in Europe
the shoe is an ingenious manufacturing of Neolithic clothing and made out of bast
a material made from certain types of tree bark that is rarely used today
SWITZERLAND — It pays to be an expatriate in Switzerland
Two women enjoy the sunshine at lake Greifensee
drug maker Novartis AG and commodity trader Glencore Plc earn an average salary of US$188,275 (S$273,010) a year
That’s the highest in the world and almost twice the global average
according to data published on Monday (Jan 2) by HSBC Holdings Plc Switzerland also tops the bank’s expat career ranking for a second year
“Expats ranked Switzerland highly for both financial and personal well-being criteria,” said Mr Dean Blackburn
“The combination of high salaries and excellent work culture has placed Switzerland at the top of the careers league table.”
It isn’t just big paychecks that make Switzerland
which also hosts the European headquarters of the United Nations in Geneva
the best all-round destination for a career abroad
69 per cent said their work-life balance had improved in Switzerland and 61 per cent said the work culture was better than their home country
Germany and Sweden ranked second and third overall
despite salaries that were at or below the global average
European countries took six of the top 10 spots
“Expats in Sweden and Germany enjoy benefits outside the financial side of work,” said Mr Blackburn
“Germany offers the best job security for expats
as well as topping the tables for work culture
is praised by 79 per cent of expats for its excellent work-life balance.”
Previous data released by HSBC showed that while Switzerland ranks first in financial well-being for those working abroad
it ranks close to last in cultivating relationships and social life
The cost of living in Switzerland is also notoriously high
with Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung last month reporting that the price of food is 70 per cent higher than the European average
while health-care expenses are more than double
The best employment packages — including health benefits
accommodation allowances and trips home — are found in Middle East countries such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates
which surveyed 26,871 expats in more than 100 countries
Hong Kong and Singapore topped the ranking for career development with 68 per cent and 62 per cent respectively of respondents agreeing that these were good places to improve their careers
suffered for some upon moving to Asia as 30 per cent of expats in Singapore and 50 per cent in Hong Kong reported a decline in work-life balance

The fish was already dead – but it was way longer than 2 meters. It was found by paddleboarders who use their boards to measure it.
The pointed out the boards are 1.95m – and fish was longer than that.
Catfish were illegally introduced into the lake 30 years ago and have been thriving ever since. They’re a voracious predator and mainly eat fish – but sometimes small water birds.
The lake is 6km long and one and a half wide.
