The 2007 edition of the UCI Road World Championships Time Trial took place on September 27. The Championships was hosted by the German city of Stuttgart, and featured two laps of an urban circuit, amounting to 44.9 kilometres of racing against the clock.

This time trial was shorter than that of the 2006 edition in Salzburg, which was won by Swiss Fabian Cancellara. Cancellara, nicknamed Mr. Chrono just like Chris Boardman, repeated his 2006 success in the World Championships Time Trial by going 52 seconds faster than Hungarian László Bodrogi. The 26 year-old who scored his first gold medal in Salzburg blasted through all the intermediate time checks in top spot, and closed out the 44.9-kilometre parcours in Stuttgart with a time of 55'41". Dutchman Stef Clement rounded out the podium at almost one minute back from Cancellara.

His storming ride over the dampened roads from the morning ended shortly after 16:00. The Swiss caught his two-minute man, American David Zabriskie, charged up the Am Kochenhof and then pumped his right fist in the air after crossing the finish line.
