The 2018 UEC Road European Championship - Elite Men Time Trial is on now.

The course length is 45 km. I don't know if it's flat or hilly, very technical etc.

Start times are here.

Ryan Mullen and Eddie Dunbar are competing. Mullen came third last year, and should be very competitive today.

Top riders also competing are Victor Campenaerts, Jos van Emden, Jonathan Castroviejo, Stefan Küng, Alex Dowset, Matthias Brändle and Yves Lampaert.

Live TV coverage now on Eurosport1 and free online coverage on Eurovision Sports.

It's starting to bucket down near the end of the course

Don't think I've seen Mullen since he started
