Remco:

"We have a sport where we are allowed to take last-minute decisions, and we have to respect them. So we also need to be real sportsmen in our minds and be ready for flexibility as well. For me, it was not a big difference. I also know I can ride pretty fast on a normal bike in a TT. So yeah, I just made a quick switch, and we decided to race for the victory. So I think it was a good decision."

They always cancel or adjust mountain stages or ITTs for safety reasons, but the big crashes usually happen in flat sprint stages.

Remco:

Hopefully a step towards banning TT bikes altogether.

My big dream is for every TT from now on to be windy so they ban TT bikes forever.

I tend to agree. Particularly as the speeds they get to now makes many courses dangerous or unsuitable.

But there is a whole economy built around people having to buy a TT specific bike.
