Millions of spectators are expected to line the routes over the nine days of action, with the Yorkshire 2019 Para-Cycling International taking place on Saturday 21st September before the Championships themselves run between 22nd-29th September.
Timings have been calculated by anticipating the riders’ average speeds, but they are subject to change depending on variables such as wind speed, direction and how aggressively the athletes race. Individual rider/nation start times for the time trial events will be announced in the weeks before the Championships.
