We have the Harrogate worlds thread but here are all the profiles for the races across the 9 days of racing in Yorkshire, which we can also use for a race thread each day. I'll add to the OP as we go, including official startlists, and if I've missed something then please post it below.

Around 3500m according to Veloviewer.

Very sad Cavendish not picked on British Team, he would have made for interesting T.V.

Prob dropped on Buttertubs in current shape lmao

Can anyone explain to me why they need to ride 180 km before enterting the circuit? Think it would have been better just to do 285 km on the circuit, that would have made for a more selective race imo.

Imagine if they had done that in Doha.

Well, that's two very different situations.....

The region pays to host.

Summary of the BBC News:

*The masses will come out to watch the racing in Yorkshire.
*For Ben Swift winning the world title would be a dream come true.
*The mixed time trial will be a game changer.

Mixed Time trial? What sh## is this??? So we are going to have men waiting for women??

It's a relay, men then women. This was announced over 12 months ago.

Might want to tread lightly.

Three men start, two have to finish. When the second man crosses the line after their lap the three women can set off. The team with the fastest overall time after 2 laps, wins.

Go and watch the race from the European championships if you are still unsure.

When he would be having a tantrum because he's dropped before the circuit?

 

[Lequack]

At least mixed TTT makes sense, trade teams TTT made no sense whatsoever in the World Champs.

 

[42x16ss]

My only concern is that a full strength Dutch team would probably put minutes into everyone else. Luckily Dumoulin isn't riding.

Dumoulin, Kelderman, Oomen, Van Baarle/Van Emden then Van Vleuten, Van der Breggen, Van Dijk and Brand would be untouchable.

Relax.. You clearly can't care that much if this the first you've heard of it.

That's a lot more than I assumed poking my head into the other thread.

 

[Koronin]

This mixed TTT should be called a TT relay as that's a more accurate description of what it is.

 

[yaco]

Actually the mixed ITT should have the men and women riding together - The relay is a nonsense.

You know how high intensity a TTT is? Like you'll see climbers hanging on for dear life when a TTer is on the front?

Women would be able to take approximately 0 turns. And if they can even hang on on a flat section that goes out the window when the gradient goes up.

Don't worry, the Dutch are sending what isn't even a B but a C team.

Mollema, Bouwman, Van Emden and Mackaij, Brand and Markus.

They still won EC but the field here is stronger. I can see Germany winning this

It is, the Team Time Trial Mixed Relay to be precise.
Although calling it a TT relay would suggest that only one rider goes at a time.

Very true. You would be restricted entirely by the ability of the weakest woman to hold the wheel.

Van Vleuten joined the MTS men's squad for TT training at the start of the year and said that the pace of even Chaves and the Yates was too much for her to be able to roll through. All she could do was hold position.

This was the strongest female TTer in the world.
