Qualification
Each nation in the top 15 of the 2011 UCI World Tour, top 7 of the UCI Europe Tour, top 4 of the UCI America Tour, top 2 of the UCI Asia Tour and leaders of the UCI Oceania and Africa Tours qualified to have one rider in the race.

The United States were given an extra rider at the expense of Luxembourg, who were not represented in the race.
Pre-race favourites
The defending champion in this discipline was Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland. He was expected to mount a strong challenge, but crashed heavily in the closing stages of the Olympic road race, initially putting his participation in the time trial in doubt. Scans revealed that he had avoided breaking his collarbone for the second time in the season, though, and he started in the time trial.[6]
Bradley Wiggins of Great Britain was also considered a big favouriteШаблон:Not in source, having won seven previous time trials in the 2012 season.Шаблон:Clarification neededШаблон:Not in source.
