Let an agent explain the road world championships and their events and format, identify hosts, winners and records with sources, describe the rainbow jersey tradition, and support fans and researchers.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
