Meanwhile each week, a group works with them on training and nutrition. End of week the bottom half have to race it out on whatever the race event is that week. The bottom two in the race are eliminated. The top rider each week gets the "leader's jersey" for the next week. Final week, instead of a two person time trial..........each person gets to pick their squad "sandlot" style for a final race. The eliminated riders you choose are your team. You get a week to prep as a team for a known course. Then race for the final episode.
