Bike Starts this weekend and last all week with the final road race next Sunday. Today was the Team Time Trial which is ,oddly, raced by commercial teams rather than countries. If I ever knew why that is, I've forgotten it now!

I don't know what's happened so far. It's on EuroSport in the UK and I don't think any terrestrial channels are showing it.
Anyone?

Evening Pan. I caught some of the TTT on Eurosport this evening. BMC managed to hold on to their title, but it was close - only 11 seconds back to Etixx QS and 19 to Movistar in third. Tinkoff Saxo had a nasty crash losing two of their riders close to the finish, and Team Sky didn't do great thanks to injuries sustained in a crash on Saturday. Apparently the road surfaces weren't great, and potholes had been highlighted with paint Confused. How the riders were supposed to see it when going at speed I really don't know.

I expect there'll be coverage of the road race on the terrestrial channels next weekend.

And worth a jersey change.Bike

Evening DA. BMC then! Defending champions too. I've just read that the womens TTT was won by the defending peoples too.
I'm going to assume that the commercial teams think is part of the deal to 'allow' riders to compete in Worlds. Or something like that.

Painted potholes? You're kidding.Shock

DramaAlpaca · 20/09/2015 21:28

That was a speedy jersey change, Pan!

Yes, cycling's all about the sponsors, so I reckon you are right.
