Cycling South Africa released the individual time-trial starting lists today for the national road champs, which takes place in Pretoria on Thursday and Friday.
The elite women are set to take on a 26km ITT on Thursday, with the men riding a 52km route – up from 43.8km last year – on Friday.
The under-23 women will form part of the elite women’s category in the ITT, while the U23 men’s field will ride the same 26km course before the feature event on Friday.
South Africa’s Stefan de Bod, pictured here time-trialling at the UCI road world champs last year, will take part in his first year as an elite this season and will be the third-last rider in the elite men’s line-up to set off for his ITT at the SA national road champs on Friday.

The elite men’s line-up will comprise 13 riders, with last year’s champion and renowned WorldTour rider Daryl Impey setting off last.
The U23 men’s group will consist of 21 riders, with Gregory de Vink topping the order.
Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, who made history at the Giro Rosa last year, is seeded the highest in the elite women’s line-up, with last year’s ITT national champ, Liezel Jordaan, starting before her.
Riders will leave in one minute intervals across all the ITT categories.
