The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) confirmed that the team time trial during next world championships will be held well in Richmond, Virginia. This news comes after rumors that, according to De Telegraaf, announced that the TTT would take place in Limburg.
A member of the USA Cycling explained to Velonews that it was just a rumor : “As soon as I saw that story in De Telegraaf, I sent a note to Matthew Night who is the road coordinator at the UCI. These discussions would be held and contemplated at the Road Commission level, and we didn’t have those conversations at our last meeting at the end of August. He confirmed that it was just a rumor, and the team time trial will be on the program in Richmond.”
Tom Steels, member of the Omega Pharma-Quick Step’s staff, told about this announcement, according to Cyclingnews. “It is going to be a totally different concept if you do it at a different time. Within the teams it already is important, especially for the manufacturers, but with the public it still has a long way to go. I think, if you split it, it is doomed. It is still too fresh to do to be separated from the main event.”
