In this "race against the clock," cyclists are not permitted to draft (i.e. ride in the slipstream of other riders to reduce effort) and victory goes to the cyclist who can cover the course fastest. Successful time trialing depends on the ability to put in a sustained hard effort, as well as on aerodynamic body position and equipment (such as aerobars, which allow cyclists to ride with their forearms close together rather than far apart as in the traditional road position; and aerodynamic bicycle frames, wheels, and spokes. Stuart Wight posted NB's top result of the day with a blazing fast ride that earned him 7th place, only 3 seconds short of a bronze medal.
