The Junior Women race the 18.3km individual time trial in Kigali on Tuesday morning for the 2025 UCI Road World Championships and the final stretch up the cobbled Côte de Kimihurura tips the scales in favour of ‘experienced’ young riders.
Erin Boothman leads the way as top contenders for a field of 45 junior women. The current junior TT national champion for Great Britain looks to build on the success from last year, where Cat Ferguson won the gold and Imogen Wolff secured the bronze, both riders having moved to the U23 division.
Last year’s silver medalist Viktória Chladoňová (Slovakia) is still 18 but the Visma-Lease a Bike pro won the women’s elite ITT and road race at road nationals, so will compete at the U23 event in Kigali. The podium is wide open for the taking.
