Why was Filippo Ganna's Tirreno-Adriatico team car stacked with spare bikes?

Monday's opening time trial at Tirreno-Adriatico, a no-frills, pan-flat run up and down Lido di Camaiore's coastal road, passed largely without surprise on the results sheet. World time trial champion Filippo Ganna romped to victory, finishing 11 seconds clear of Remco Evenepoel and a further seven ahead of Tadej Pogačar, the week's GC battle left poised in the Italian's wake.
