The time trial passes the baton to the road race. It's now time for the road races at the Cycling World Championships in Rwanda. The first to take the stage will be the women's under 23 category in their inaugural edition, just like the time trial. 82 athletes will compete over a distance of 119.3 kilometers with a total elevation gain of 2,435 meters. The start is at 1:05 PM.

Eleonora Ciabocco is the only Italian rider in the race. Twenty-one years old, from Corridonia in the province of Macerata, the Team Picnic PostNL rider is undoubtedly among the favorites to win the title. Ciabocco has grown tremendously this season, and her recent results speak volumes about the promising athlete's good form. However, the absence of important nations like the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway leaves the predictions wide open.

Let's see who, besides the Italian rider, are the main favorites. For Great Britain, Ferguson and Wolff are among the most dangerous, along with the Spanish rider Blasi and the French rider Bunel. The latter can count on the support of her compatriots Bego and Gery, who are also capable of hitting the target. The Belgian team has great confidence in Van Sinaey, while the Slovak Chladonova, the Polish Mul, the Swedish Kagevi, the Canadian Isabella Holmgren, and the Kazakh Sklyarova all have the credentials for a potential knockout.
