BMC in the Mens TTT at the 2015 World Cycling Championships
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has announced that the team time trial event at the 2016 Road World Championships in Qatar in October will no longer be compulsory for all WorldTour teams in response to protests from squads.
Previously, all WorldTour teams had to take part in the Worlds TTT, but a protest from the Association Internationale des Groupes Cyclistes Professionels (AIGCP) representing teams has led to a change in the format. Several teams had said that they would boycott the event unless there was a rule change.
