I haven't watched one of these before.
As I understand it, they set off at shortish intervals in reverse order, so Bertie will be going last.
But faster riders will catch up with slower ones - so does that mean that (for example) Bertie could catch up with someone, draft them for a bit for a rest, then catch up with someone else?
Are there tactics involved (as there are in normal stages)? Calling it an 'individual time trial' makes it sound more like a track race, but I'm sure it isn't...
