HOMESERVICESFRAME LABTHE BOARDFORUMGALLERYUPDATESGUMWALL GPThe race plays out the way it did. Stieda and Matt go early. Bérard goes alone. On lap 13 Ron Kiefel attacks with Mottet on his wheel, and a card asks if you are going with them. Go, and you are in the move that decides the rainbow jersey. Stay, and you ride in the bunch with LeMond and Hinault, watching the gap on the board.
Make the front three at the bell and the sprint is yours to win. Whatever happens, your time goes into the real result: the finish sheet tells you who you would have beaten.

At the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Saturday, September 6, 1986. It was the first time the world championships were held in the United States. The men raced 17 laps of a 15.4 km circuit, 261.8 km in all.
Moreno Argentin of Italy, in 6:32:38, from Charly Mottet of France by a second. Giuseppe Saronni won the bunch sprint for third, nine seconds back. Greg LeMond was seventh and Bernard Hinault 59th.
Yes. If you are with Argentin, Mottet and Gölz at the bell, the finish is live. Argentin opens the uphill sprint 300 m out. Come past him and the finish sheet calls you world champion.
It runs the whole race off your speed, so a 200 W rider can sit in the bunch the way a pro did and the gaps on the board stay true to 1986. History pace runs it at the real average of 39.9 km/h and does not wait.
It is the best reconstruction we found, which fits every period account: start and finish by the Cadet Chapel, real Academy roads from OpenStreetMap, real elevation. No official map of the 1986 turns is published online, so treat the exact corners as close, not certain.
No. A smart trainer gives you the climbs as resistance. A speed sensor on any trainer works with estimated power, and the arrow keys work on anything.
