Let's talk about the ITTs: which bike will you use?

In the ILA New Zealand Tour 2023 we have 2 ITTs. This means that you must make the ROUVY ride scheduled on your own in trial mode.

Since the ITTs are made in trial time version and with no draft option, they can be done in autonomy without any event created. You can make the ITTs either with an event created by yourself or in trial mode. The effort is not valid if it is done in free ride mode and must be done within the time indicated in the Stage and Results page (https://iloveamatorinztour.wixsite.com/rouvy/items).

The ITT races can be done with either road bicycle or ITT bicycle, selecting it from option in your ROUVY profile.

As in real life races the riders can choose the bike type. In ROUVY from you profile you can make your choice before the start. An ITT bicycle can give you a high advantage in flat efforts while the scenario will be the opposite if in you effort you have climbs.

In the ILA New Zealand Tour 2023 the first ITT is very particular, just 1 km. It will be a tremendous, strong and very very short effort. It is almost flat and this means that the ITT bicycle should be used. Instead, in the last stage, that will be composed by a very long and steep climb, a road bicycle seems to be more indicated.
