Pre Tour 2026 chat

Featuring the return of the Individual Team Time Trial.
Overall, I'm not in favour of the way it skews towards the 'big' teams but at least the new format might stop page 1 of the GC on ceefax being locked out by the winning team.

The reintroduction of the TTT is a clear indication that Christian Prudhomme is being held hostage and acting on behalf on his captors. This is his way of letting us know..
Seriously though, I mentioned in another thread that Pogacar turned up with five teammates who had finished top ten in GT, only one a top quality TTer. A long TTT encourages diversity. Grand Tours are skewed to big teams whatever you do.
