Day two of the UCI Road World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda, continues with the under-23 women’s and men’s time trial, taking place Monday, September 22.
Representing 35 nations, the 49 U23 women will tackle a 22.6km course, a shortened version of the elite women’s route, taking in just one ascent of the Côte de Nyanza climb (2.4km at 5.5%), and the final cobbled hill of Kimihurura (1.3 km at 6.3%) before the uphill finish
Rwanda’s Claudette Nyirarukundo will be the first to start, at 10:53, and after her, the others will set off at 1:30 intervals with Zoe Bäckstedt, the reigning British national TT champion, the last rider starting at 12:05. Read our full preview for a run-down of the ones to watch in the U23 women's time trial.

Following on in the afternoon, the under-23 men’s TT begins at 13:50 with the first rider once again a home talent, Rwanda's Etienne Tuyizere.
Last year’s silver medalist, Jakob Söderqvist (Sweden), is the rider to watch and will be the last to ride down the start ramp at 15:50. Read our full preview for a run-down of the ones to watch in the U23 men’s time trial.
The 61 U23 men, from 43 countries, will face a 31.2km route with 460m of elevation gain, which features the double ascent Côte de Nyanza from two different slopes (2.5 km at 5.8% first, then 6.6 km at 3.5%) and also concludes with the cobbled hill of Kimihurura heading into the uphill finish.
