March 20, 2006 – Today Canada’s best bets for a Games medal or two hit the pavement in the time trial. On the women’s side, Canada was dealt a devastating blow with the news of Lyne Bessette withdrawing from the Games. However, with the last minute replacement of Erinne Willock, along with stalwart Sue Palmer-Komar, the event still looks strong for Canada. The women will race 14.5K, with a small field of just 16.

Svein Tuft is a definite possibility for a medal for Canada as well, with his biggest competition being Health Net pro Nathan O’Neill (Australia) who is the odds-on favourite to win. There are 69 men vying for the 20K TT.

Here are the start lists:
