CyclingMonday, 21 September 2026 at 15:26
The 2026 World Championships continue on Monday as the Womenb's U23 time trial kicks off day two of the Championships after the elite men and women's time trials. 52 young riders will compete for the rainbow bands as the start times and order have been confirmed.
After Remco Evenepoel and Marlen Reusser became the first two riders to be crowned world champions in 2026, it's time for the young guns to follow suit.
Benin rider Georgette Vignonfodo will be the first rider off the ramp at 15:00 CET, she takes on the 20.4 kilometer course, a smaller version of the elite course that features 145 meters of climbing.
The next three riders leave in one-minute intervals before the rest of the riders all depart at 1 minute 30 seconds intervals to take on the course.
Chladoňová and Wilson-Haffenden the final two riders to start
Slovakian national champion Viktória Chladoňová is last off the grid at 16:15 CET, the Visma | lease a Bike rider is expected to be a tough rider to beat. Elsewhere, Justyna Czapla, Megan Arens and Ava Holmgren are among the contenders to ride for the win.
Lidl-Trek rider Felicity Wilson-Haffenden is second last off at 16:13.30 CET, and has shown fine form this season in the race against the clock.
However, perhaps the strongest rider in the category won't be at the start line after Zoe Backstedt opted to race the elite women's time trial - finishing second behind Reusser in an impressive showing.

- How is it that these two journalists don't make any mention of the Swede who also had a fantastic ride and most likely would have bumped Seixas off tge podium if he hadn't hit the deck....I guess they're just too start struck to be a bit more objective.Zone0Rider21-09-2026

- Battling it out with Longo stillJumpyjohn21-09-2026
- Remco has already set a record, only person ever to win 4 consecutives, as Longo had to skip a year during her streak. If he wins the road race he’ll be level at the road cycling top with 5, others having more have been in other disciplines or across several disciplines. How many has your man collected in all his years of domination, doesn’t seem to be his strong point, especially when you consider how often he’s avoided the Vuelta. You should know better now than to continue hyping him up. Pray he doesn’t have a change of heart and buy himself out of his contract to start a family.Jumpyjohn21-09-2026
- Funny how this guy doesn’t ask who Mou is when his thumb score shoots its load. Obviously doesn’t know too much about darts though.Jumpyjohn21-09-2026
- Hopefully she will still be (or again) when she files for divorce ;-) And so I don’t have to reply to the other guy directly, It’s rarely all and only about money, especially when people get older, there will be other incentives now.Jumpyjohn21-09-2026
- Actually, that was, at best not even half of Americans, and even a large proportion of them have come round to realising it was, yet another, fake American dream.Jumpyjohn21-09-2026
- You should know, he’s either a fellow countryman or neighbour of yours, and probably you were both born in the same part of the US. Why don’t you go back through past posts here, you may find back an old friend?Jumpyjohn21-09-2026
