Mark Cavendish won the men's road race world title in Denmark as his British team rode a near-perfect race.

Cavendish exploded across the line in a bunch sprint, ahead of Australia's Matt Goss and German Andre Greipel.
"We had eight of the best guys in the world. It was incredible, we took it on from start to finish," said Cavendish.
"I can't believe it. We knew three years ago when this course was announced - we put a plan together to put these best guys together.
"It's been three years in the making and you just saw they rode incredibly. I'm just so proud

The best man at French President Nicolas Sarkozy's wedding has been charged with misuse of public funds.
Nicolas Bazire, 54, was charged by magistrates investigating allegations of corruption in the election campaign of Edouard Balladur in 1995.
Mr Bazire denied any involvement in the matter, his lawyer said.
Mr Sarkozy had been a spokesman for Mr Balladur, but a presidency statement said he "never exercised the slightest authority in the campaign financing".

More than 1,200 bodies found in Tripoli mass grave
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/09/3166.jpg
A mass grave believed to contain up to 1,270 bodies has been found in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, says the National Transitional Council (NTC).
The remains are thought to be those of inmates who were killed by security forces in 1996 in the Abu Salim prison.
The uprising against Col Muammar Gaddafi began as a protest to demand the release of a lawyer who represented families of the Abu Salim inmates.
Excavation at the site is expected to start soon.
The NTC said it had discovered the site - a desert field scattered with bone fragments within the grounds of the Abu Salim prison - by questioning prison guards who had worked there when the prisoners were killed after protesting against their conditions.
Several bone fragments and pieces of clothing have already been found in the top soil.
Imran Khan calls for Britain to cut aid to Pakistan
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/09/3167.jpg
Pakistani opposition politician Imran Khan has urged the UK to cut aid to his country, saying it fuels corruption.
The former cricketer told BBC Radio 4 that Pakistan was more poverty-stricken than ever but little international aid money reached its intended target.
The UK plans to increase its annual aid from £140m to £350m over the next few years.
But Mr Khan said: "If we don't have aid we will be forced to make reforms and stand on our own feet."
