Hammer Series- Keeps on being compared to the Old Omnium. Which was confusing as fuck and only ever really appealed to the more hardcore fan.

I do think the Team TT at the end could be interesting, if you have a 30 second lead, surely you have to go out as hard as possible in order to not be caught? Pacing goes somewhat out the window? Unless you are confident your sprinter can win anyway.

The final time/win in the team event is counted by the fourth rider crossing the finish line, so they'd need to have four sprinters there

So we could see teams absolutely "Hammering" it out of the blocks to avoid the catch. Possibly fairly quickly dropping a rider/riders who can then attempt to interrupt the chase? Could be interesting, definitely a wacky races feel and could introduce some interesting tactics.
