Official event pageWhat this race demands
This individual time trial covers a short 15 km distance, demanding maximal sustained power output and pacing discipline against the clock.
Aero efficiency
Because the event is an individual time trial over a short 15 km distance, maintaining an aerodynamic position and high threshold power without the benefit of a draft is critical.
Threshold power
The short duration of 15 km requires riders to push close to their functional threshold power from start to finish with minimal recovery opportunities.
