Time trialling appeals to cyclists because there are so many different aspects of competition. Apart from racing for the overall win, riders are at the same time racing to improve their personal best time at that race distance and their best time on that particular course.

Often there's a time-handicap competition within the race too, in which riders are given a time allowance against the fastest rider. A further dimension for riders aged 40 and over is the “veteran's standard” competition, where riders are given a time allowance related to their age. This enables time triallists to remain competitive into their seventies and beyond.
