Alejandra Neira won the junior women's road race off a five-rider sprint. Three kilometres from the line, her escape had already fallen apart.
Neira built an early break with Anja Grossmann and Mathilde Rossignoli, only to watch Maria Okrucińska and Mirthe Mons close it down with 3km to go. She won the sprint anyway, taking Spain's third gold of the junior categories in Montreal — after Benjamín Noval's double and Paula Ostiz's title in Kigali last year. «Paula is a big, big friend, also teammate, and to be the World Champion after her, wow, incredible» — Alejandra Neira.
