Time Trial in France

The time trial is the cycling race in duel mode with... yourself. No peloton to shelter behind, just your bike and your cardio. The goal? Send watt after watt from first to last meter, praying your legs hold and your aero helmet gains you precious seconds. Here, no group tactics: everything rests on your effort management and mental strength. With its staggered starts, courses measured to the millimeter (often relatively short, 1 to 50 km) and strict rules (no drafting or disqualification), the TT is the event where every second counts, where your worst enemy is the clock... and where crossing the finish line always feels like surviving an endless sprint.
