Well, first of all, you've got to think realistic: if you want to win, you gotta have a rider capable of winning.
After that, TTs are pretty much about having the green bar (energy) be spent in the same speed as the yellow bar (distance left). Just controlling the effort.
when we first are on the topic TT, how the F*** do you win a TTT? i NEVER manage to win a stage thats a TTT, nomatter which team i use... (edit; i should also mention that i normaly end up in the bottom 3 teams)

Put your best four TT'ers to the longest relay (5 minutes) which takes quite alot of sitting and clicking away, then set your other riders to move aside so at the start all teh best TT'ers go to the front and the others join the group at the back, if you have decent TT'ers then you can get a lot of time on your competitors this way
EDIT: skip to 1 minute or so on my video of teh TTT in the giro 2010 and you can see how I do it and my eventual position https://www.youtub...EOZM0CVv50Edited by edibletoast on 03-06-2011 20:56

That's the right way of doing it, but it doesn't work for courses <20km . Where the TTT usually fails. Good example is the TDF 2011 version TTT. Doesn't matter how strong team I had or how many diffrent tactics I tried, it was impossible to do well in it. Hope they fixed it in PCM 11 version
