Strange new innovation in the Team Time Trial in the Paris-Nice*
Instead of the whole team, or most of the team crossing the line together and the time being calculated on rider four or five, now the time is calculated on the second man, so the teams splits up at some agreed point just before the finish, and only the two fastest (obviously one necessarily being your superstar) cross the line together, and the rest can roll in when they wish. Presumably the idea is to make the whole thing less predictable, whereas in previous years it was always just two or three of the mega teams who really took the whole thing seriously. Don't know if this is going to be general now, or just confined to this race, or to ASO races or whatever.
*Of course, someone is going to come along and say they've been doing it this way for years, and I've just been too drunk to pay attention.
