Between 14:00 local time (07:00 CEST) and 16:10 (09:10 CEST), the likes of Filippo Ganna (Italy), Remco Evenepoel (Belgium), Wout van Aert (Belgium), Rohan Dennis (Australia), and Primož Roglič (Slovenia) will all be racing to win the gold medal that Switzerland's Fabian Cancellara won in Rio five years ago.
