Rohan Dennis became the second Australian male to win the world time trial title – after Michael Rogers, who won three consecutive titles between 2003 and 2005 – finishing almost a minute and a half clear of any other rider.[4] The silver medal was more closely contested, with only 0.53 seconds covering the remaining medal-winners; it was settled in favour of defending champion Dumoulin, surpassing Belgium's Victor Campenaerts, the European champion, on the finish line.[5]
Course
The race consisted of a route 52.1 kilometres (32.4 miles) in length, starting from Rattenberg and ending in Innsbruck. The route was primarily rolling, except for a climb of 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) between Fritzens and Gnadenwald, with an average 7.1% gradient and maximum of 14% in places.[6]
Qualification
All National Federations were allowed to enter four riders for the race, with a maximum of two riders to start. In addition to this number, the outgoing World Champion and the current continental champions were also able to take part.[7]
