Can it?! legally?
I'm fairly sure it has to be 10m+ behind the rider unless they go for a bike change and then they can come level... there was a special exception for the Bergen TT, but that's it

except they planned the swap-zone (which wasn't there before Team Sunweb talked about it) back about 150 meters just this afternoon, so no one will swap bikes unless they're feeling very confident to brake off all that speed and waste a lot of power to accelerate again before the hairpin. wow, UCI

The problem is that the bike has to come from the car, so the rider has to come to a stop, which they pretty much do on that hairpin anyway, and then wait for their bike to arrive from the car, that's the big time waster...
