World Cycling Championships 2023 – Switzerland defend rainbow stripes and triumph in mixed team time trial

The 20km course, of which each nation’s male and female trio would complete a single lap, was almost identical to the city circuit several of the male riders – most notably Switzerland’s Stefan Kung – completed ten turns around on Sunday.

The Swiss started out as strong favourites, and as incumbent champions, would be last down the ramp, with a team representing Afghanistan heading out first.
