Start Times & Order - 2025 World Championships junior men's time trial Kigali Rwanda

The Kigali 2025 World Championships roll on this Tuesday, September 23, with the spotlight shifting to the junior time trial events. After the elite women’s and men’s races opened the competition, followed by the U23 categories on Monday, the next chapter will feature the junior riders testing themselves against the clock. The day’s racing will include both the junior men’s and junior women’s time trials, with the men’s event scheduled for the afternoon.

The junior men’s time trial begins at 1:57 p.m. and runs until 4:30 p.m. Local fans will see Rwandan rider Pacifique Byusa lead things off, carrying the hopes of the host nation as the first starter down the ramp. His presence ensures the home crowd will be engaged from the very start of the competition.

Among the favorites are two names that carry a strong cycling heritage. Spain’s Benjamin Noval, son of the former professional who rode alongside Lance Armstrong at US Postal in 2004 and 2005, lines up after an exceptional season with 20 victories already to his name. Joining him on the start list is Ashlin Barry, the American junior time trial champion and another rider linked to US Postal history through his father. Both arrive with expectations of fighting for the rainbow jersey, bringing family legacies into play on one of cycling’s biggest stages.
