It's the 20th edition for this Pro Tour team time trial classic. The first five seasons it was called the Eindhoven TTT before adopting its current name as the Copenhagen-Malmo TTT. It's 58.6kms of flat roads with the majority of the course on the Øresund Bridge that spans 16.4kms from Denmark over to Sweden.
The fourth-longest bridge in Europe is majestic and offers stunning views. While most teams come here to compete, this mandatory Pro Tour race also offers weaker teams at least a memorable TTT picture for the HQ showroom.
Before getting into the teams looking to win this edition, let's take a trip down memory lane at the teams that have podiumed here in the past.

The five-year reign of terror by EA Vesuvio will come to an end tomorrow. Following their disbandment this offseason, a new team champion will be crowned for the first time in a very long time.
Five out of the eight riders from EA Vesuvio's winning squad last year have return but find themselves on five different teams: Wirtgen (Specialized), Munton (Xero Racing), Tanfield (Indosat), Wurtz (Polar), and Pelikan (DK Zalgiris). Not present are Rei Onodera, Stefan De Bod, and Edoardo Affini.
Wirtgen, Munton, Tanfield, and Pelikan were with EA Vesuvio for all five consecutive wins. Tanfield crossed the line first and stood on the podium for three straight years (2022-24). The Brit finds himself on one of the favourites again this season with Indosat Ooredoo and a chance to go 6-for-6.
Two-time World ITT Champion Wurtz also won the 2020 edition with Grieg-Maersk. But won't have much help this year from his Polar squad in attendance.
Let's breakdown the 24 teams:

That's a good starting point, we will go a little more in-depth on each team during the race report. But, for now, this will be sufficient. Looking forward to seeing which team can claim EA Vesuvio's abandoned Scandinavia throne!
With only the top 22 receiving any points, looks like we're in for our first zero-pointer since the last time we raced here. Hopefully we won't get in the way for any other team
