The novelty of the Relay team

As now also in road cycling, we shall see – for the first time – team relay Also in the Cycling World Championships, in a test that awards medals. The race to open the Fayetteville World Championships will be on January 28. Each national team will have a relay made up of 1 male elite cross racer, 1 female elite cross racer, two runners in the under-23 and male junior classes, and two runners in the under-23 class and a female class. Each rider selected by the coach must have run at least one World Cup event during the season.

One draw will be made the day before the race to form the starting grid, which will wear the number 1 and the exchange chests. How it works? Each runner will have to complete a full course and reach the end zone and “touch” his teammate who will start a new course.
