English term or phrase: time trialist
Hello everyone!
I am having difficulties finding the equivalent Spanish word for "time trialist"
The explanation I found in Wikipedia says this:
A time trialist is a road bicycle racer who can maintain high speeds for long periods of time, to maximize performance during individual or team time trials. The term cronoman, or chronoman, is also used to refer to a time trialist.
Any suggestions?

rodador


Explanation:
Otra opción.

Un rodador (también contrarrelojista o pasista) es un tipo de ciclista que tiene la potencia necesaria para mover grandes desarrollos y "rodar" o "mantener un paso" (correr) muy rápido en terreno llano durante varios kilómetros, de ahí sus nombres.
