While the 2018 men's World Championship time trial in Innsbruck turned out to be a one-sided affair with Rohan Dennis comfortably beating Tom Dumoulin, the 2019 edition, held in Yorkshire, looks to be a far more open and unpredictable race. 

Last year, Dennis took home the rainbow jersey after beating Dumoulin by 1:21 in Innsbruck. This time around, there looks to be four main favourites for victory on the 54-kilometre course which runs on a rolling course from Northallerton to the Harrogate circuit on September 25 – plus a number of outsiders.
