UCI Road World Championships 2025 women’s elite time trial start times

The 2025 UCI Road World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda raise their curtain with the women’s elite individual time trial this Sunday.

Starting at the BK Arena, the route stretches 31.2km on a loop south of the city, before returning to finish at the Kigali Convention Centre. The course climbs 460m in total, over three climbs: the Côte de Nyanza, which is ascended from both sides (2.5km at 5.8% on the first ascent, 4.1km at 3.1% on the second) and the cobbled Côte de Kimihurura (1.3km at 6.3%).

Among the contenders for the event are two-time winner Chloé Dygert (USA), who earned titles in 2019 and 2023, Demi Vollering (Netherlands), Marlen Reusser (Switzerland) and Olympic silver medallist Anna Henderson (Great Britain).
