Seventy riders line up to contest the 2015 UCI Road World Championships elite men's individual time trial title on Wednesday, September 23, in Richmond, USA.
In the absence of 2014 champion Bradley Wiggins, top-seeded rider is last year's runner-up, Tony Martin (Germany). The triple former TT world champion is the outright favourite to take a title for a fourth time.
First rider off is Michael Hepburn (Australia) at 1pm local time (6pm UK time). Hepburn is capable of laying down an early mark that could see him occupy the hotseat for an extended stretch.
Great Britain is represented by two riders: Alex Dowsett and Steve Cummings. Dowsett has already tasted success at the 2015 Worlds with a bronze medal in the team time trial with trade squad Movistar. The Essex man embarks at 2.30pm local time (7.30pm UK time).
Tour de France stage winner Cummings goes off earlier than Dowsett, rolling down the start ramp at 1.27pm (or 6.27pm UK time).
The elite men tackle a 53.5km course.
