I enjoyed that Team Time Trial ............a few years ago I thought they were a waste of time and just distorted the GC but in those days they were pretty rare and had fallen out of favour. They had also dropped off the Olympic schedule, don't know if they ever were in the World Champs but they haven't been for years
TTT seems to be back in favour now.............and having watched a few I can see the skill and tactics involved .........it's really interesting once you grasp the intricacies !
As it goes the time gaps between the teams were not huge and with a mountain top finish tomorrow the GC will pretty soon return to a normal pattern
Bit heavy...........category one mountain top finish on the first road stage..........
It's a very mountainous course this year, as it was last year. It's also going down south having taken place totally in the north last year
Should be a terrific 3 weeks !..............
