So much for that (ProCyclingStats...).

The PCS dude is busier with touring around the world and shitting in the face of everyone who's not praising him as a God than actually placing good info on his site lately

Still no full results for men's TTT. Now I see your point.

[bestmen 2,818]

the team   didn't participate for the time trial because they arrived late to ethiopia

How does this mixed TTT work? Surely it's a matter of the women/men going first and then 'tagging' to the others or something?

If I'm not mistaken, it's 3 women going together, and then 3 men replacing them at some point. Ridiculous, I know.

Yes, but the only reasonable way of doing it if you're gonna have a mixed TTT anyway. It is ridiculous, but not nearly as ridiculous as 3 women + 3 men riding together, leading to 3 women deciding the result because the 3 men will follow them on 60% as an easy warm-up ride

There can still be some element of strategy, the men could act as pacers and block the wind for them.

Yes, but still you'd have a competition where half of the team simply can not go full gas at any moment, because the other half would inevitably drop off. That just goes against the entire spirit of sport.
