Team time trial in the Czech Republic marred by terrible fall of …

Mitchelton-SCOTT has just like last year won the team time trial in the Tour of the Czech Republic, but especially the last place of NTT stood out in the result. The images, which were placed on his own video channel by Victor Campenaerts, show why: the whole team crashed hard.

The Tour of the Czech Republic got six WorldTeams and three Belgian formations at the start this year. They were able to test the legs on the first day during the short team time trial of 18.1 kilometers in the streets of Unicov. Mitchelton-SCOTT featured riders like Luke Durbridge, Edoardo Affini, Jack Bauer, Michael Hepburn and Damien Howson and was the top favorite. The Australians fulfilled that role by driving a lead of 25 seconds on both Uno-X and Sunweb. Alpecin-Fenix ​​was seventh in 39 seconds, Sport Vlaanderen Baloise in 59 seconds tenth and Bingoal-Wallonie Bruxelles in 1:34 sixteenth.

NTT finally came in 21st and last place, almost 2 minutes from Mitchelton-SCOTT.

The second stage of the Tour of the Czech Republic takes the riders over 193 kilometers from Prostejov to Unicov and seems like an opportunity for the sprinters.
