In this unique race, riders work together in teams of three, not for their usual teams, but for their home country. The teams are selected based on their EWS world rankings and then ride a time together to win the coveted UCI rainbow jerseys

There is more than enough drama on the race's five challenging stages. The rules of the race require all three riders to complete the course in order to achieve a result, which spells doom for some of the race's biggest names. The top seeded Team Canada with EWS winner Jesse Melamed, Remi Gauvin and Rhys Verner are forced to abandon the race after setting the fastest time on the first stage. Verner crashed several times on the second stage and was then unable to continue.

The New Zealand team with Matt Walker, Eddie Masters and Charlie Murray takes control of the race. A stage win by Murray on the fourth stage, with Walker and Masters in second and third place, ensures that a safe run on the fifth stage is enough to take the win. Team France is much luckier than in 2019, when it was plagued by several mechanical failures. The riders of the Grande Nation take second place, while Team USA ride to bronze. Team Germany with Christian Textor, Max Pfeil and Torben Drach put in a remarkable race. They beat some well-known teams to take fourth place, while the Swiss team with Gusti Wildhaber, Patrick Lüthi and Robin Janser finished in 15th place.

In the women's event, France's Isabeau Courdurier, Morgane Charre and Melanie Pugin are considered to have a good chance. They confirmed this and came out of the first stage with a lead of over two minutes. Team Germany increasingly improved, landing a victory on the final stage and finishing the race in second place, just one second ahead of the favored Team Great Britain in third place.

The Swiss team of Anita Gehrig, Carolin Gehrig and Swiss champion Lisa Baumann did not have an easy race. Baumann crashed on the first stage and was unable to continue her usual performance. However, she fights her way through the race and finishes in sixth place with her colleagues.
