Stage One: Individual Time Trial
The ITT course is a simple out and back format on a flat/rolling hills road just outside Crockett. Juniors will be doing a
shortened version of the course that is 4 miles, everyone else will do the full course that is just under 8 miles (link on web-
site with strava link).
Merckx Advantage Time Trial Information
An exciting new way of scoring time trials that has been used by Topview Sports in other states with great success. The Merckx advantage
TT allows riders to choose whether or not they want to use aero gear or select ‘Merckx’ and get a time handicap. Riders electing to race
‘Merckx’ will get a 30 second time bonus deducted from their finish time.
How does it work? When you roll up to the TT start you must tell the starter if your are doing Merckx or not. IF you do not tell the
starter, then we will score you as aero!
Aero Gear Limitations for Merckx Advantage TT
-No aero bars, aero helmets, aero shoe covers, aero extensions of any kind
-Wheels are limited to 55mm rims or smaller, no disc wheels or anything above a regular zipp 404 type depth.
-Allowed items—skinsuits, aero road helmets (non-teardrop shape, does not cover ears)
