==Career== ===Early years=== Born in [[Rechytsa]], [[Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic]], Kiryienka won his first national time trial championship in 2002.

He attacked his six breakaway companions at the foot of the Monte Para climb and soloed to the finish for the win, by a margin of over four minutes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/giro08/?id=results/giro0818 |author=Gregor Brown |title=Contador proves tough under Di Luca's pressure |date=2008-05-30 |work=Cycling News |access-date=2009-11-28 }}</ref>
