Carapaz wins men's road race for Ecuador's 1st cycling medal

Richard Carapaz rode away from the biggest names in cycling to win the Olympic road race Saturday, giving Ecuador its first medal of any color in the sport in one of its marquee events. Embracing his nickname of “The Locomotive,” Carapaz rode away from American breakaway buddy Brandon McNulty as they approached the finish at Fuji International Speedway on the first full day of the Tokyo Games. The chasing group rounded the corner in sight of him at the finish line, then played a game of cat-and-mouse for the other two medals.
