10-11 August
The UCI Individual Time Trial World Championships will take place over three days in Stirling and on the surrounding roads. The event takes place on closed roads, and the beauty of these races is that you can spectate for free, from the roadside, all around the course! The Individual Time Trial is a true test of rider and machine – setting off individually with one to two minute gaps between riders there is no hiding in the race of truth. Aerodynamics are critical in this event, with futuristic looking bicycles and helmets and the tightest of clothing. Riders will look to eek out every second over the course and maintain the highest power possible for the duration with every pedal stroke crucial to their result. The winner is the rider with the fastest time to complete the course. You don’t want to miss this unique opportunity to watch this captivating event where it can come down to hundredths of seconds between riders to determine who will take home the rainbow jersey!
