“You’ve got a road bike, so time trial” – that is the message from Cycling Time Trials as it launches sweeping new changes designed to encourage more riders to take up the sport.
From now on, all open events will feature separately classified road bike results, which can also be viewed on the CTT website, and can be filtered into men’s and women’s results, and age group categories.
Significantly, popular time trials results platform Spindata is also on board with the changes, as is real-time time trialling results app ResultsSheet.
It means road bike riders in search of a more level playing field and recognition of their efforts no longer need to search out ‘road bike only’ time trials.
The hope is that it will attract new blood to the sport and inspire those already in it to race more regularly.
“Recognising road bikes as their own category is all about improving accessibility and making time trialling available to everybody,” said CTT chair Andrea Parish.
