The elite men's time trial at the UCI Road World Championships is held a few hours after the elite women's time trial on Sunday, September 22, launching the world championships with two big ticket world titles up for grabs.
The men race on a similar course to the women in central Kigali, covering 40.6km rather than 31.2km. The men's course includes several rolling climbs, mostly on wide roads, explaining why the likes of Filippo Ganna (Italy) opted not to ride this year.
