UCI Road World Championships 2024 - Elite Men's Time Trial start times and roster
Full start list for 59 riders as they take on 46.1km course from Zürich-Oerlikon at 14:45 CET for rainbow jersey
The UCI Road World Championships begin Sunday with a doubleheader of elite individual time trial competitions. The elite men take the course at 14:45 local time, following the race for the first rainbow jersey of the week decided by elite women, who start at 11:51 local time in Switzerland.
The elite men's course is 46.1km from Zurich-Oerlikon, rather than the women's start in Gossau, and back to Zürich. Once down the ramp, the 59 riders in the field will pass Dübendorf and Lake Greifensee before heading to Monchaltorf to join the same route as the women's elite time trial.
The course takes in an elevation gain of 413 metres as it begins on the historic open race track in Zurich-Oerlikon and works its way over the foothills of the Pfannenstiel and along the shores of Lake Zürich for the finish line at Sechseläutenplatz in the nation's largest city.
All the climbing comes in the middle section of the route, once Lake Greifen is in the rearview mirror and the first time check is passed at Maur, 12.5km completed. Passing through Mönchaltorf, the course then connects with the same roads as used by the elite women, and the climbing and technical descending begin.
The first uphill winds through Oetwil am See for 2.6km with a gradient averaging 4.5%. Shortly afterwards is a smaller rise of 1.4km that leads to a steep 1km descent, with pitches of 10-12%.
That technical drop leads to a right-hand turn for the fast, flat section on the eastern shore of Lake Zurich for the final 12km to the finish line.
There are a total of three intermediate time checks on the course. After the first one at Maur, the second split times are taken at the crest of the Oetwil am See climb with just under 21km to ride. The final check is located along the flat road beside Lake Zurich after passing Herrliberg with 9.4km to go.
