Nature valley announced today that it would not allow TT bikes in its stage race. They claimed they also have a time cut in the Prologue TT to prevent riders from taking it easy and saving themselves for the evening criterium.
Do you think someone should let them know that Time trials are an integral part of cycling stage races, that it’s a great opportunity to showcase sponsor equipment, and that Criteriums are traditionally a mere summer show-piece? Allow TT equipment, and scrap the Criterium? Either put on a real road stage in the afternoon, or make the morning TT longer. Make the event a real bike race instead of further “downgrading” it.
