Yep, just one day. A tough one though. 234 km with several difficult climbs, including one with portions steeper than 20%! And 30 degrees Celsius with 80% humidity, difficult conditions.
Unlike the other sports, it was nice to see all these people on the roadside. It's outdoor with lots of space, so it's probably safer.
Tomorrow it's the women road race. Significantly shorter with 'only' 137km, but difficult too.
Small correction, there is also a time trial for both men and women (Wednesday I believe) and I think it's also considered road race. But it's completely independent from today's race.
