Start time: 11:00. Length: 234km (145mi).
128 competitors from 57 nations. 85 finished.
The race was won by Richard Carapaz of Ecuador. Carapaz, along with Brandon McNulty of United States, attacked with 25 kilometres (16mi) to go and immediately built a gap over the chasing group. Both riders worked together until Carapaz dropped McNulty with 5.8 kilometres (3.6mi) to go. Carapaz held off the chase group to win the race by more than a minute. The silver and bronze medals went to Wout van Aert of Belgium and Tadej Pogačar of Slovenia, respectively. Both riders were part of the 11-man chase group that rode in pursuit of Carapaz and McNulty. Eight of the 11 riders contested the sprint for the silver medal, with van Aert holding off Pogačar to take second.
The races started in Musashinonomori Park in Chōfu, western Tokyo, at 11:00 (UTC+9) while both races finished at the Fuji Speedway circuit in the Shizuoka prefecture. The men road race was 234 kilometres (145mi) long with a total elevation gain of 4,865 metres (15,961ft). The first part of the men and women races were identical. The course first passed through the mostly flat outskirts of Tokyo's metropolitan area. After 40 kilometres (25mi), the riders gradually climbed towards the foot of the climb to Doushi Road, a 5.9-kilometre (3.7mi) climb with an average of 5.7 per cent. The climb topped out after 80 kilometres (50mi) of racing at an altitude of 1,121 metres (3,678ft) above sea level. After reaching Lake Yamanakako in Yamanashi and crossing the Kagosaka Pass, the riders faced a 15-kilometre (9.3mi) descent and from here, the courses were different for the men and women races. After the descent, the men race headed towards the lower slopes of Mount Fuji, Japan's highest mountain, where they went up the 14.3-kilometre (8.9mi) long climb of Fuji Sanroku with an average incline of six per cent. The climb was crested with 96.5 kilometres (60.0mi) left at an elevation of 1,451 metres (4,760ft) before the riders faced a 15.5-kilometre (9.6mi) long descent into Gotemba. Afterwards, the riders headed towards the Fuji Speedway section, where they crossed the finish line twice before reaching the foot of the Mikuni Pass. The climb is 6.5 kilometres (4.0mi) long with an average gradient of 10.6 per cent and included sections reaching 20 per cent. It was expected to be the decisive climb in the race. The peak, at an altitude of 1,171 metres (3,842ft), was crested with about 33 kilometres (21mi) to go. After the climb, the race returned to Lake Yamanakako and the Kagosaka Pass before a final descent and a short hilly section towards the finish on the Fuji Speedway circuit.
