The road race combined as an individual and team event with the team title decided based on the total time of each nation’s four cyclists. The race was a 175 kilometre time trial, in which the riders left at four minute intervals from Merksem and rode into Antwerpen. The riders rode from Kerksem to Turnhout, and then Molt (96 km.), Heyst-or-dem-Beg (135 km.), Liege, and finished back at Antwerpen, three kilometres from the velodrome. Sweden’s Harry Stenqvist won the individual race, while France took the team event, with Sweden almost seven minutes behind for the silver medal.
