For the men's Under 23 world championship time trial, Italy is counting on two talented young riders: the Varese-born Alessandro Cattani from Technipes #OnEmiliaRomagna Caffè Borbone and the Bergamo-born Nicolas Milesi from Netcompany Ineos Racing Academy. Between the two, Milesi appears to have the best chances of competing for medals thanks to his outstanding time trial abilities and his prestigious title as current Italian vice champion.

A total of 72 athletes will take the start, representing 47 nations, ready to compete over the 31.3-kilometer Canadian course. The first to start will be Indonesian Raya Deska Adya at 17:58'30" (Italian time), while the race will be closed by Belgian Matisse Van Kerckhove, the last to launch from the ramp at 19:45:00.

Besides the Dutch Matisse Van Kerckhove, considered one of the main candidates for the rainbow jersey, there are numerous athletes capable of aiming for final victory in the Under 23 time trial. Among these are fellow Belgian Jasper Schoofs, Norwegian Kasper Haugland, Spaniard Hector Alvarez and Dutchman Michiel Mouris, all riders already capable of standing out in time trial events.

Also worth watching are Briton Ben Wiggins, son of former Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins, New Zealander Reef Roberts, Irishman Adam Rafferty, Dane Mads Landbo and Pole Patryk Goszczurny, names that could play a leading role in the fight for the podium.

In front of the home crowd, Canadian Jones Walton will try to shine, while among the Americans, eyes will be on Ashlin Barry, another emerging talent from a generation that promises to deliver spectacle over the 31.3-kilometer Canadian course.

Three intermediate time checks: at km 10.7, at km 19.1 and at km 25.6.
