    Right, So Geraint Thomas
    Right, So Geraint Thomas isn’t in the team at all…..But Ben Swift gets a place WTF also no David Millar in there either.

    But Cav is going to race….Thats pointless as he’ll be dropped right out on the climbs. I see it being a repeat of the Olympics. Everyone around Cav and no-one else racing.

    Get your breakaway guys picked now 👿

    1 finger bone for gear changing
    2 feet without toes or connection to ankle to power pedals
    1 pelvis to balance on the saddle
    1 ear bone thingy to hear his own voice and Jens Voigt’s thoughts
    2 shoulders for aerodynamics

    Everything else has been replaced by titanium rods for weight saving with carbon joints.

    I was just hit by some sort of psychic fit in which he spoke to me……

    Under UCI TTT rules, for the
    Under UCI TTT rules, for the world champs they would need 5 or 6 riders.

    TEAM TIME TRIAL:

    The principle is the same as for the individual time trial but this event is raced by teams of a minimum of 2 riders and a maximum of 10 riders.
    The team time trial will be on the programme at the UCI Road World Championships as from 2012, (5 to 6 riders per team). All the UCI Teams will be able to participate (UCI ProTeams, UCI Professional Continental Teams, UCI Continental Teams, UCI Women’s Teams).

    I think this is why most TTT’s if any are at the start of any stage race, To make sure there are enough riders for the “normal” 5th man over the line time set up.

    For 2 simple reason’s. The camera’s never showed him AT ALL. The other being he never showed himself at the front of the bunch at all.

    The was a mention of a young GB rider from the team being there. But seen as he was never on screen or at the front. How could they know who he was?

    I don’t think its a cope out by the UCI. How many national teams would put in a team for the time trial?

    Th UK might at a push be able. But then it would be detrimental to the RR. The smaller nation’s would be at a massive disadvantage. If they could even muster a team.

    Look at someone like Peter Sagan. He might be a world champion one day. He’s not really a TT guy….YET. That might come. But there is only him and his brother really. Thats not to say there are not others who could make up a team. But not to that standard.

    Where are running it as trade teams. They are going to put in strong teams just for the fact its something to win and secondly to please sponsors. Finally, it might be some of their riders only chance. 😉
