Frenchman Attacks from the Gun!
The 1936 World Championship Road Race was held at the Bremgarten Auto-track in Berne , Switzerland . The race course is 30 laps of the 7.28 km circuit. The UCI expanded the team rosters to allow 4 rides per country.
Weather conditions played a factor in the race. Antonin Magne disregarded the heavy rain and wind and attacked early in the race. Slowly he dispatched his 2 breakaway companions and completed the race 9'27” ahead of second placed Aldo Bini.
