Yes it is, and you have not changed my mind. Entirely concept utterly flawed unless its purpose is social.Like I said, I'd prefer separate TTTs, but that isn't what you said to begin with. Your issue was with the entire concept of relays.
And in the context of a cycling team trial doubly so, because the discipline is, in and of itself, a test of the coaching and strength in depth of a nation.
It also seems to have failed enormously in gaining the interest of national associations and riders, given that only 7 teams entered the senior event.
