On Monday, the Kigali 2025 World Championships continue with under-23 time trials. After Marlen Reusser (Switzerland) and Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) secured the first set of gold medals, it'll be up to the next generation to show off.
The men's U23 time trial will be held from 13:50h to 16:30h. The first rider to start will be Etienne Tuyizere, representing host country. The last on the starting ramp will be Swede Jakob Söderqvist, an overwhelming favorite for the rainbow jersey. He will do so at 15:50h.
Some other favourites for medals in the men's race will be Maxime Decomble (France, start at 15:42h), Callum Thornley (Great Britain & NI, 15:34h) or Matthias Schwarzbacher (Slovakia, 15:44h). Meanwhile top climbers such as Lorenzo Finn (Italy, 15:36h) are not without chances either.
The women's time trial will be held earlier, from 10.53h to 12:45h. The event will again take off with Rwanda's Claudette Nyirarukundo and last at the start will be the big favourite to win the women's race: Zoe Backstedt.
