- The 39.2km route features flat sections along the Saint Lawrence River and concludes with a 400-metre, 6.1% uphill run to the finish line, requiring precise pacing from competitors.
- A total of 48 riders are scheduled to compete in today's time trial, with Cyclingnews providing the complete start list and individual start times for each participant.
- This event follows the elite women's time trial held earlier this morning, where Marlen Reusser of Switzerland defended her title as Zoe Backstedt of Great Britain secured silver.
