712 amateur cyclists from across the globe raced against the clock at the 2024 UCI Gran Fondo Time Trial World Championship on Thursday 29 August. The first rider rolled down the start house ramp at 09:00 (GMT+2) and began a 33.3km “flat as a pancake” individual time trial, with the last rider expected to finish around 16:00. The forecast called for ~20kph wind all day (typical for Denmark), starting from the southeast and by late afternoon rotating to the southwest.
