We remain in Thailand for the time trial, but have relocated to the flatter terrain of Nakhon Ratchasima.
This race is very hard to call, with a number of contenders in a competitive field.

With all nations' strongest riders off at the end, let's summarise what happened before then.
Chun Wing Leung has the lead as it stands.
Chen Shikai had matched him at the first checkpoint, but faded away to finish 47 seconds down.
This isn't enough for 2nd right now, as Mikhail Kochetkov came in 25 seconds down.
And Ka Hoo Fung put in a strong ride for 3rd, at 31 seconds.
Sachin Dulanjana completes the Top 5.
Here are the standings:
Heralding the start of the key phase of the day, the penultimate Hong Kong rider is on a flyer. King Lok Cheung becomes the new leader, 33 seconds ahead!
Now let's look at some riders leading the way for their nation - positions stated here will be final, not provisional.
First competitive time trial for Jay Lampawog, he will finish 24th today - Phillipines' best result of the championship.
Dilmurdjon Siddikov is another who may expect to do better in future - he can be happy with 15th today for Uzbekistan.
Yuan Tan Peng will finish 27th for Taiwan
Lebanon make the Top 20. 19th for Elias Abou Rachid.
Finishing this montage of best of their nation is a disappointing outcome for Mongolia. Hopes of a Top 10, but not to be this year - Bilguunjargal Erdenebat is down in 18th.
Back to the provisional placings, as Muhamma Afif Ahmad Zamri goes 3rd at the finish - 41 seconds behind Cheung.
Tushantha Rajapakshage goes 2nd - at 23 seconds.
It's 5th for Dealton Nur Arif Prayogo, 43 seconds down - so Malaysia have beaten Indonesia by 2 seconds here.
Yuttana Mano will be the favourite for this in future years, and he will have something to improve on. Despite the home support, it's not to be a victory today, 3rd as it stands at 28 seconds.
Daniil Fominykh just about justifies his position as final Kazakhstan starter, going 7th, 12 seconds ahead of Kochetkov.
Rei Onodera goes fastest! By less than a second!
But Wen Hao Li goes faster - a 12 second lead, with only one rider left.
Ho-Ting Kwok knows how to win this event - he took the last two editions, in 2016 and 2017.
Thailand for the time trial, but have relocated to the flatter terrain of Nakhon Ratchasima.
