Obrigado.
Apenas apeteceu-lhes meter as equipas a fazer TTT nos mundiais e chamar alguns apoiantes. Ou seja, razões comerciais (publicitárias e de assistência).
Gracias pelo esclarecimento.
Palavras ponderadas de Filipe Cardoso... disse tudo, em tom politicamente correcto
McQuaid added that the team time trial, until it was dropped in 1993 and replaced by the individual time trial, "became an event dominated by equipment and run on a highway, out-and-back. What we’re hoping to do is introduce a team time trial for trade teams run on normal roads or a circuit, to be a more spectacular televisual event, similar to what you’d see on one of the stages of the major tours."
McQuaid denied that trade teams had exerted pressure on the UCI or tried to muscle in on the World Championships. The decision to open the team time trial to trade teams has been taken, he said, solely by the UCI and "to improve the spectacle" of the event.
From a visual point of view it was boring," continued McQuaid of the old four-man team time trials. "Let’s be honest, the trade teams are the ones who can invest in the material to put together a team time trial team. With national teams, a lot of them don’t have the ability to invest. Trade teams can, and are willing. It’s more spectacular. The public, the fans, can have more affinity with it, because they’re the guys they see all year round.
