Course
The initial plan was to have a time trial finishing uphill. This idea was discarded because it was required to have two finish sections which was not possible from a logistical and financial point of view.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/no-uphill-time-trial-at-ponferrada-worlds|title=No uphill time trial at Ponferrada Worlds |date=21 November 2013|accessdate=18 April 2014|publisher=cyclingnews.com}}
The length of the individual time trial was {{convert|47.10|km|abbr=on}}. The time trial started in the centre of Ponferrada and passed through La Martina, Posada del Bierzo and Carracedelo before returning to Ponferrada. A short stretch before riding into Ponferrada was made for the championships. The total elevation over the elite men's course was {{convert|458|m|abbr=on}} with a few hills in the last {{convert|15|km|abbr=on}} with a maximum inclination of 10%. The course started with a flat section of {{convert|30|km|abbr=on}} through the valley of Bierzo, before the parcours rose slightly. In a little under {{convert|10|km|abbr=on}} the riders rose from {{convert|550|m|abbr=on}} to an altitude of {{convert|700|m|abbr=on}}. The ascent overlapped partly with the road race for men, which meant that the steepest part had a negative gradient of 16%. After {{convert|40|km|abbr=on}} there was another climb; in a few kilometres the riders reached the highest point in the route, located at {{convert|709|m|abbr=on}} after {{convert|43|km|abbr=on}}, before a downhill run to the finish.
