2010 UCI Road World Championships: Thor Hushovd, a Norwegian set to conquer Australia<br /><br /><br />The last day of the UCI World Championships has offered a magnificent show to the enormous crowd which welcomed the peloton on the Geelong circuit, after the race had started a few hours earlier in the centre of Melbourne.<br /><br /><br />The most anticipated event of the week, which benefited from ideal conditions, was dominated by a five- rider breakaway. They attacked in the first few kilometres and took advantage of the lethargy of the chasing bunch to accumulate a 23-minute advantage.<br /><br /><br />After the first four of the 11 laps, for a total distance of 257 km, the main teams organised their reaction, and the Italian and Spanish squads drove the pace to gradually reduce the gap.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://ll.broadbandsports.com/images/39674_thumb.jpg" alt="Men UCI Road World Championships" title="Men UCI Road World Championships" width="150" height="90" alt="Men UCI Road World Championships"/>
