The (provisional) start list for the men’s elite time trial at the Kigali World Championships

The rainbow week will open with the men’s and women’s elite time trials on Sunday, September 21. The women’s race will be held first, followed in the afternoon by the men’s (on a 40.6 km course compared to 31.2 km for the women).

There won’t be as many riders at the start as in past years, since many national teams—without a real chance of competing for a top result—have decided not to send athletes due to the very high travel costs. However, top names such as Pogačar, Evenepoel, and Vine will still line up.

Here is the provisional start list. It’s possible that other riders from different nations, or athletes already in Kigali for the road race, may also be allowed to start.
