Indoor finish to time trial

[yello]

I've just been watching some highlights of the 4 Days of Dunkerque. Today's time trial stage had an indoor finish!

What a great idea, we could do with that at our local Evening 10's early season.

What was the surface like ?

- last 50 metres on glass-like tiles ?

On the tele, it looked like well polished wood. Like a gym floor or basketball court. I hope I'm wrong because it wouldn't be the grippiest of all surfaces for a bike. Looking at the photo though suggests that it's a different surface to the rest of the flooring so perhaps something a little more bike-friendly was put down.

Prudhomme was interviewed afterwards, expressing an interest. Perhaps we'll see it in the TdF in the future.
