Why mountain biking is a team sport !

When someone speaks about team sports, it’s probably not likely that cycling comes to the forefront of one’s mind. Road cycling operates in a team format, albeit in quite subtle ways when compared to ball sports; with riders having jobs within the bunch, often setting up for one general classification rider or sprinter to get over the line first. Mountain biking is even less of a team sport: all of the disciplines within mountain biking are essentially arduous solo time-trials over different distances and terrains.
