2021 World Championships Women TT Live Coverage
Welcome to our live coverage of 2021 World Championships Women TT! Our live time-trial times and commentary are below, followed by a preview of the technical aspects of the route.
Course Preview
The individual time trial for women at the Worlds is played out on a virtually flat course of 30.3 kilometres. Just 54 vertical metres between the start in Knokke-Heist and the finish in Brugges.
The riders roll down the starting ramp on the Zeedijk – or, Sea Dike – and continue 1.5 kilometres along the Nort Sea in a northern direction. A sharp righthander leads inland and after moving through Knokke-Heist’s centre the route continues on straight and exposed roads to Westkapelle, Oostkerke, Dudzele, and Damme. Except for a lefthander in Dudsele and a righthander in Damme the route is tailor-made to develop breakneck speeds.
Titleholder Anna van der Breggen and the World Champion of 2019 Chloé Dygert are both absent. In 2018 and 2017, Annemiek van Vleuten stormed to victory, while Marlen Reusser recently took the European Championships with a dominant performance.
There are two intermediate time checks – at kilometre 13.8 and at kilometre 20.8.
The first rider starts at 14.40 and the last rider is expected to finish around 16.40 – both are local times (CEST).
