The challenging 31-kilometer course saw many riders opt to change out their time trial bikes for their road bikes on the fly -- in a cyclo-cross-like bike exchange -- before the final grueling climb to the finish. Adding to the challenge of the course were rain showers that moved in late in the day just as the top competitors took to the coastal streets of Bergen.
Americans Tejay Van Garderen (Aspen, Colo./BMC Racing Team) and Joey Rosskopf (Decatur, Ga./BMC Racing Team), finished 26th and 41st, respectively. Van Garderen stopped the clock at 47 minutes, 28.52 seconds, while Rosskopf came in at 48:28.20.
Tom Dumoulin (NED) took the win by nearly a minute in 44:41.00, followed by Primoz Roglic (SLO) 57.79 seconds back. Tour de France champion Chris Froome (GBR) earned the bronze in 46:02.25.

The U23 men’s team is seeking the first American medal in the event since 2010.
