Road Cycling UCI World Championships 2017

If you can drive 120 km/h on every highway, but the government says "City A is allowed to make an exception if they want" and City A decides to set the limit at 140 km/h, driving 140 km/h within City A is not breaking the law

There is no new rule, they just ignored it. Made an "exception", because hosts apparently can decide to do that..

 

"2.3.033 During world championships and Olympic Games, repairs and wheel or bicycle changes may be effected either by the personnel in the following technical vehicle, or at the equipment pits set up for that purpose.

So it's an exception, which hosts are allowed to make --> not a breaking of laws 

 

But it's incredibly unprofessional when hosts can change a rule of the governing body for one event at the World championships.

Have two different bike isn't a great idea for me

That is correct

That's always a potential discussion, but for me it's the right decision. It has been seen before that a race has been ruined by a mechanic being slow at getting the new bike. It should be about the rider and the tactics, not the mechanic.

Just by watching this time trial I can pretty much assume how expensive Bergen must be.
