Some of the planet’s fastest racers in the 17 to 18-year-old age group will compete on Monday, September 23 to claim the title as men’s junior time trial champion at the 2024 UCI Road World Championships. They will compete on a 24.9km course just one day after the elite divisions begin a full week of competition in Zürich, Switzerland.
A flat 24.9km race against the clock will take athletes out-and-back along the eastern shore of Lake Zürich, which excludes any climbing that the elites face near Maur to the north at Lake Greifensee and the foothills of the Pfannenstiel. This should make the intermediate time check near Herrliberg – 9.4km on the outbound section and 15.5km on the return – a close examination for seconds in the single digits.
