Women's World Championship ITT: Start times and order

The women’s World Championship time trial in Kigali takes the riders over 31.2 kilometres and 460 metres of climbing, with three time checks on the streets of the Rwandan capital. With 44 riders on the start list, here are the start times from the first rider to the favourites.

The race opens with Rwanda’s Xaveline Nirere at 10:22 AM (CET), while a steady stream of national champions, young talents and lesser-known riders will fill the early slots. With 44 riders on the start list, the event underlines the global spread of the discipline, from Africa and Asia to Europe and the Americas.

The spotlight will sharpen in the second half of the schedule. Anna van der Breggen begins her Worlds comeback at 11:20, while Chloé Dygert – twice a world champion in this discipline – starts at 12:07. Marlen Reusser, with three wins from three time trials this season, departs at 11:55. Vollering, silver medallist a year ago and ideally suited to the climbing-heavy profile, will be the final rider to set off at 12:10.
