Joop Zoetemelk of the Netherlands won the men's professional road
crown at the 1985 World Championships Sunday in a sensational upset in
Giavera Del Montello, Italy. 

Zoetemelk, who had never won a major road race before, fooled a
group of 13 other cyclists by conducting an incredible sprint in
the final mile to victory.

Greg Lemond of the United States, the 1983 World Champion, was
second and Moreno Argentina of Italy third, just three seconds
behind the winner.
