Who will win the Paris Olympics individual time trial? Analysing the favourites

The Paris Olympic Games is already upon us following the conclusion of the Tour de France, and the road racing action is first on the menu with the men’s and women’s time trials both coming on the opening weekend (Saturday, July 27).

The cream of the crop of the world time trial stars have gathered in Paris for the rare opportunity to tilt at the gold medal, with all of them tackling the same flat 32.4km out-and-back course from Invalides to Pont Alexandre III via the Bois de Vincennes in France’s capital city.
