Sunday’s starts, from a Hungarian perspective
On September 20, the women’s time trial begins at 15:00 Budapest time and the men’s at 18:45; both cover 39.2 kilometres. These are the event start times, not the individual Hungarian riders’ start times. Federation programme
Following the race beyond the finish line
The UCI’s latest spectator overview says six Montreal boroughs will have giant screens and free accompanying activities. The start and finish will be at the foot of Mont Royal. Free city activities do not mean every grandstand is free: check the organiser’s specific offer before reserving a place. UCI spectator overview · Official grandstand information
