At least there are no team radios in this event
It's a bit like a relay, except the spoils all go to the person who does the final leg to the finish. Funny how in swimming relays, every swimmer during heats and finals gets a medal even if they dont swim in the final, yet this doesn't apply for road cycling. It might do so for track cycling (team pursuit) though?

Not every person from the country of the winner gets a medal in the marathon etc, even if they work together during the race by peacemaking etc..
