The men's road race at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro took place on August 6, 2016.
On the last lap of the race a leading group formed with Vincenzo Nibali , Sergio Henao and the Pole Rafał Majka . On the dangerous descent, Nibali and Henao fell. Majka drove on alone and was overtaken 1.5 kilometers from the finish by his pursuers Greg Van Avermaet and Jakob Fuglsang . The Olympic champion was Belgian Greg Van Avermaet, who was the first to cross the finish line in the final sprint against Jakob Fuglsang from Denmark. Bronze went to Rafał Majka from Poland.
Route
The distance of the men's road race was 150 miles. The start was at Forte de Copacabana . The course extended further west through the districts of Ipanema , Barra , and the Reserva Maripendi coastal road . After 24.8 kilometers, it was necessary to round the Pontal / Grumari course four times (99.2 km) before the route led back on the same coastal road to the east. Here the Vista Chinesa course in the Gávea district had to be passed three times. Then the race led back to Forte de Copacabana, where the finish line was.
As with all races, the race was accompanied by the police for safety, this was done by the Federal Highway Police (PRF).
