TheTokyo 2020 Olympic Gamesmen's individual time trial is expected to be a very tightly fought race with some of the discipline's biggest names taking to the start ramp to have a go at getting gold.

The Olympics were of course meant to take place in the summer of 2020, but due to the pandemic, they had to be pushed back to 2021, along with multiple other big events that were meant to happen around that time.

The Tokyo course is particularly hilly, with riders tackling two laps of a 22.1km route around the base of Mount Fuji, starting and finishing on the track of the Fuji International Speedway over 44.2km.

像往常一样骑自行车,有一个巨大的list of potential winners and picking out clear favourites can be tricky. But it has to be a safe bet that world champion Filippo Ganna (Italy), 2016 silver medallist Tom Dumoulin (Netherlands), European champion Stefan Küng (Switzerland), Wout van Aert (Belgium), Rohan Dennis (Australia), Rémi Cavagna (France), and Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) are the stand out names on a long list of possible medallists.

Great Britain is one of the nations that has been allowed two slots in the time trial, with 2018 Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas being joined by Ineos Grenadiers team-mate and 2020 Giro d'Italia winner Tao Geoghegan Hart.

Joining Great Britain with two riders are Australia, Belgium, Estonia, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Switzerland, and the USA.

The rest of the nations taking part in the event will, of course, be only allowed one rider.

Hi, I'm one of Cycling Weekly's content writers for the web team responsible for writing stories on racing, tech, updating evergreen pages as well as the weekly email newsletter. Proud Yorkshireman from the UK's answer to Flanders, Calderdale, go check out the cobbled climbs!


I started watching cycling back in 2010, before all the hype around London 2012 and Bradley Wiggins at the Tour de France. In fact, it was Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck's battle in the fog up the Tourmalet on stage 17 of the Tour de France.


It took me a few more years to get into the journalism side of things, but I had a good idea I wanted to get into cycling journalism by the end of year nine at school and started doing voluntary work soon after. This got me a chance to go to the London Six Days, Tour de Yorkshire and the Tour of Britain to name a few before eventually joining Eurosport's online team while I was at uni, where I studied journalism. Eurosport gave me the opportunity to work at the world championships in Harrogate back in the awful weather.


After various bar jobs, I managed to get my way into Cycling Weekly in late February of 2020 where I mostly write about racing and everything around that as it's what I specialise in but don't be surprised to see my name on other news stories.


When not writing stories for the site, I don't really switch off my cycling side as I watch every race that is televised as well as being a rider myself and a regular user of the game Pro Cycling Manager. Maybe too regular.


My bike is a well used Specialized Tarmac SL4 when out on my local roads back in West Yorkshire as well as in northern Hampshire with the hills and mountains being my preferred terrain.
