The Knoxville, Tennessee circuit is sure to provide plenty of space for attacks, counter-attacks and non-stop action. At just 12.7km in length and with one significant climb - the short but steep ascent on Sherrod Road - coming with about 9km to go, the sprinters will be lining up to have a shot at the title.
The pro women start their 8-lap, 101km race at 9:00 EDT, with defending champion Megan Guarnier (Boels Dolmans) and Coryn Rivera (Sunweb) as the top favourites. The men's race, with defending champion Greg Daniel, gets underway at 13:15 EDT.
