The up and down Hamilton course is going to be tough for the juniors on their limited gears, however every rider has the same restriction, thus their technical skills will play an important part in determining the 2003 Junior Men's Time Trial World Champion. Last year in Zolder on a flat, fast and windy course, Russian Mikhail Ignatiev claimed the gold medal ahead of Australian Mark Jamieson at the very impressive average speed of 48.831 km/h. This year, Ignatiev is again part of the Russian contingent and will be tough to topple, as will his teammate Maxim Belkov.
Dutchman Kai Reus is expected to be a strong challenger, having posted several wins this season on the road. Belgian Dominique Cornu recently won the time trial stage of the Keizer der Juniores against some good competition, and will be looking to repeat that in Hamilton. Look out for the Velits brothers, Martin and Peter, from Slovakia, as they have been dominant in the junior races all year. Also Americans Steven Cozza and Zach Grabowski, and Australians Sam Lee and William Walker should not be ruled out.
