If the departure of other contenders for the podium (Hayter, Cavagna, Bjerg, Oliveira) is scheduled after 8 a.m., watch out for other ambitious runners who left earlier.
We are thinking in particular of Switzerland Stefan Bisseggerreigning European champion whose departure is scheduled for 6:44:30, just before our other Belgian in the race, Yves Lampaert.
João Almeida, Matteo Overo et Andreas Leknessund will also be on the route around that time.
First strong man to set off on this time trial, the Italian Edoardo Affini will leave at 5:54 a.m. Belgian time while the Maltese Daniel Bonello will have the honor of launching these world championships at 5:42.
The men’s time trial will be broadcast from 5:30 a.m. while the women’s will start at 1:45 a.m., also on Tipik.
