Day two of the UCI Road World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda, continues with the under-23 women’s and men’s time trial, taking place Monday, September 22.
History will continue to be made at the first World Championships held in Africa, as the under-23 women will finally contest their own separate races in the morning. Until recently, there wasn't a separate U23 title for women at all, but at the last three Worlds, rainbow jerseys were awarded to the fastest U23 finisher in the elite women’s time trial.
Representing 35 nations, the 49 U23 women will tackle a 22.6km course, a shortened version of the elite women’s route, taking in just one ascent of the Côte de Nyanza climb (2.4km at 5.5%), and the final cobbled hill of Kimihurura (1.3 km at 6.3%) before the uphill finish
Rwanda’s Claudette Nyirarukundo will be the first to start, at 10:53, and after her, the others will set off at 1:30 intervals with Zoe Bäckstedt, the reigning British national TT champion, the last rider starting at 12:05. Read our full preview for a run-down of the ones to watch in the U23 women's time trial.
Following on in the afternoon, the under-23 men’s TT begins at 13:50 with the first rider once again a home talent, Rwanda's Etienne Tuyizere.
Last year’s silver medalist, Jakob Söderqvist (Sweden), is the rider to watch and will be the last to ride down the start ramp at 15:50. Read our full preview for a run-down of the ones to watch in the U23 men’s time trial.
The 61 U23 men, from 43 countries, will face a 31.2km route with 460m of elevation gain, which features the double ascent Côte de Nyanza from two different slopes (2.5 km at 5.8% first, then 6.6 km at 3.5%) and also concludes with the cobbled hill of Kimihurura heading into the uphill finish.
