The 1982 UCI Road World Championships - Women's Road Race took place on the 4th of september 1982[1] around Goodwood, Sussex in the United Kingdom. It was 61 km in length.[2]

Mandy Jones broke clear of the field to win by 10 seconds. She was the first British woman to win a world championship for 15 years.[3] She said:

"I won by accident. It was just plain daft. We were going downhill and I just rode past them. Then I looked back, saw I had a gap and kept going. I was praying my legs wouldn't collapse. But with around half a lap to go, I started thinking 'Hey, I could win this!"[4]
