Only one rider per team can race at any one time. You cannot have more than one rider racing.

What if we have less bikes than riders?

This is fine as long as in transition, the sharing riders don’t pass onto each other as it will delay your time. As long as the timing chip is passed on to the next rider, it won't matter.
