Stage 3 of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Nice offers up a team time trial, as has become a traditional mid-week fixture in the French stage race. Tuesday's effort is 28.4km long across fairly rolling terrain between💝 Magny-Cours and N🌳evers.

What's less traditional, however, is how the GC times will be taken. Rather than the time being taken from the fourth rider across the line and given to the whole team, each rider will be given their individual actu🌠al time, which could influence the way 👍teams ride.

It is the first rider's time that will decide the winner of the stage, so there is less incent༒ive to keep four riders together to the line.

This unique regulation has been used before at Paris-Nice and will be implemented for the opening team time trial of the 2026 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France in Barcelona.

With the times being taken in this way, there will definitely be a GC reshuffling, and the yellow jersey is likely to change hands – currently on the shoulders of the winner of stages 1 and 2, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tim Merlier (Soudal-QuickStep).

Tudor Pro Cycling will kick off proceedings, rolling down the line at 2.30pm CET, whilst Merlier and QuickStep will be last off at 3.54pm�🅠� CET.

Last year's TTT was won by UAE Team Emirates, and they'll be one of the favourites again, led by Brandon McNulty and João Almeida. Jayco AlUla may have been hoping to improve their second place from 2024, but 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:the loss of Luke Durbridge in a cr🐟ash will dent their chances.

Visma-Lease a Bike should ride well to protect Matteo Jorgenson and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonas Vingegaard's GC interests,𝕴 with European ITT champion Edoardo Affini present.

Soudal QuickStep will try to hold onto yellow, and Ineos Grenadiers have a threatening line-up of strong time🐼 trialists, including Josh Tarling and former ITT world champion Tobias Foss.
