The Women's road race of the 2020 UCI Road World Championships was a cycling event that took place on 26 September 2020 in Imola, Italy.[2] Annemiek van Vleuten was the defending champion.[3]

Anna van der Breggen from the Netherlands became the first rider in 25 years to win both the road race and time trial titles at a single World Championships, after a 40-kilometre (25-mile) solo attack.[4] She finished 80 seconds clear of her closest competitors,[5] to win her second world title in three years. The silver medal went to compatriot van Vleuten, who was riding the race with a brace on a fractured wrist – having completed a U-turn on competing in the race – following a crash the week prior at the Giro Rosa.[6][7][8] The bronze medal was taken by Italy's Elisa Longo Borghini, losing out to van Vleuten in a two-up sprint.[4][5]

The race took place on a 28.8 kilometres (17.9 mi) course, starting and finishing at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari (a motor racing circuit).[9] Heading out from the Autodromo into the Emilia-Romagna countryside, the course used two climbs with an average gradient of 10% separated by the town of Riolo Terme, before returning to the Autodromo. The women's road race lapped the course five times, making a total of 143 kilometres (89 mi).[9]
