Juniors take centre stage on the third day of racing at UCI Road World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda, with the Junior women’s field the first to ride the individual time trial on Tuesday morning.

The Junior women have 47 women on the start ramp at BK Arena, representing 29 countries for their 18.3km individual time trial contest. The route is relatively flat and culminates with the final cobbled hill of Kimihurura (1.3 km at 6.3%) before the uphill finish at the Kigale Convention Centre.

Rwanda’s Masengesho Yvonne will be the first to start for the Junior women at 11:06, with riders following at 1:30 intervals until Erin Boothman, reigning junior TT national champion for Great Britain, signals the last rider down the ramp at 12:15.
