Welcome to Cyclingnews' full livജe coverage of the opening stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, a flat 22.7km team timeꦰ trial

 

Good afternoon, and a warm welcome to Cyclingnews' live coverage of the opening day of the 2017 Tirreno-Adriatico. The 'Race of the two seas' kicks off with a team time trial in Lido di Camaiore, a&nbꩲsp;seaside resort in Versilia.

We're off

Here's how Lotto Soudal line up

Bahrain-Merida are the next team down the start ramp𝓰. Here they are warming up a little earlier

Unlike Lotto Soudal, Bahrain-Merida have a big GC hitter and favourite for the overall title in their ranks. Vincenzo Nibali is a two-time winner of this race, and will be looking to take his first victory for his new team at this im💞portant stepping stone to the Giro d'Italia.&n𝕴bsp;

Trek-Segafredo are the next team off. Another team with a GC favourite and Gi🀅ro contender in Bauke Mollema. H⛦ere are the riders hoping to deliver the Dutchman to a strong time.

Bahrain-Merida are ticking along nicely at thꦐe moment as they come throughꩵ the tight streets of the town before turning back to return along the coastline. 

Here is the map of the route. It's all straight, wide coastal road save for that technical section in the ▨middle that features narrower roads and four 90-degree bends. 

Tom Dumoulin's Sunweb team are out now.🧸 The Dutchman, going for the maglia rosa at the Giro, is such a strong time triallist and unlike the likes of Quintana, it will be him doing the longer and stronger turns for his team. 

Italian Pro Continental outfit Bardiani-CSF are off. Movistar up next, as Lotto Soudal come towards the end💟 of the course.

Lotto Soudal are down to the bare minimum of five riders as they approach the line. Each t🐓eam's time is taken when the fifth rider crosses the line. 

Lotto Soudal clock 24:12

Here come Nairo Quintana's Movistar. Time trialling is a weakness of the Colombian's, who is a previous winner of this race, so his teammates will need t🎃o put in a strong ride for him today. 

Quintana has horsepower in the form of Alex Dowsett,♕ Jonathan Castroviejo, and Nelson Oliveira.

Have you listened to our preview podcast? 

Here come Bahrain-Merida on the approach to the line, but they can't clock the best time. They finish one second down on Lotto Soudal, with 24:13.

Team Lott𒆙oNL-Jumbo are the next team down the ramp. Roglic and Van Emden are strong against the🃏 clock, while Gesink would seem to represent the Dutch team's GC hopes. 

24:18 for Trek-Segafredo - that's 6 seಌconds down on Lotto Soud🎶al's time. 

Meanwhile, the TTT world 𝓰champions roll down the ramp. Quick-Step Floors may not have a G🌞C favourite but they're among the big favourites for the stage win today. 

Movistar look pretty slic𓂃k, it has to be said. Quin🍌tana's diminutive frame there tucked behind his larger and more powerful teammates. 

Here come Sunweb...

Lotto Soܫu♑dal's time holds strong as Tom Dumoulin's Sunweb team stop the clock on 24:16.

Cannondale-Drapac are the next team off. Interestingly🔯, they're all using disc brakes on their TT bikes today - not that this course requires much braking. More on that later from our man on the ground, St🐲ephen Farrand. 

Rigoberto🌜 Uran leads Cannondale-Drapac. Ryan Mullen among some strong rouleurs there. 

The class divide between WorldTour and Pro Continental shows, as Bardiani-CSF can only manage 25:41 - almost a minute and a half slower than Lotto ꦯSouda🐼l, who still hold the best time with five teams home. 

Movistar c𒐪ome into the final kilometre with seven of their eight riders. This is go🦩ing to be a good time. 

23:42 for Movistar

FDJ are out on the course. Thibaut Pi🐲not is a big contender here for the overall. 

Here come Orica-Scott. They've scored some massive TTT results in the past but are evolving as a more GC-oriented team th🌼ese days. How can they p🤡erform for Adam Yates?

Good time for LottoNL-Jumbo, who st🌺op the clock on 24 minutes dead with five riders. That's the second best time.

꧂We're constantly updating the provisional standings, as the teams come home. You can see that over to the right of your screen. 

Dimension Data are off. No one here for GC for♛ 🐲them.

Here come Quick-𓆏Step. Can they get near Movist⛎ar's time?

They can! 23:37 for Quick-Step, who cross the line 🍸with seven riders. Great effort from the world champions. That will be hard to bea♔t. 

Pro Conti outfit Novo Nordisk are next off the ramp - the team exclusively compﷺrising diabetics.

Team Sky are on the rollers. Troubled times, currently, for the British team, as Cyclingnews revealed t📖his week that dissent is emerg👍ing among the riders. 

Ca🐟nnondale-Drapac stop the clock on 24:38. A disappointing time from the American outfit, who are still looking for their first win of the season. 

Another Pro Conti team off the ramp now: Androni Giocattoli. The Italian team missed out on a wildcard for the Giro d'Italia, and being invited to this fellow RCS-organised race won't be too much of a consolation. They have t💫alented young Colombian Egan Bernal as their team leader. 

FDJ approach the line. This could be good...

It's not enough for the stage win, bu𝄹t that's a great time for FDJ: 23:42. 

Pino💯t, then, is level on the general classification with ဣNairo Quintana, and some 30 seconds ahead of Mollema and Nibali. 

Fabio Aru begins his Tirreno-Adriatico as Astana roll down the ramp. The pressure is on for the Italian as some strong⭕ times have already been posted🍬 by fellow GC favourites.

23:45 for Orica-Scott. 🐎That's the fourth best time.&🎶nbsp;

Team Sky roll down the ramp. Mikel Landa and Geraint Thomas will share leadership at the Giro, and that will be the cas♒e here, too. 

And there have been further developments in the Team Sky story today, as it has emerged that Chris Froome refused to sign a statement of support for Brailsford that team management had 🐷urged all riders to sign. Has the three-time Tour de France winner lost faith in Brailsford?

Steve Cummings 𝄹leads a bare💃 five Dimension Data team over the line for 24:13. Eighth place, as it stands. 

Katusha-Alpecin are the next team off. Simon Sp𝐆ilak can be a threat in week-long stag♋e races. 

Bora-Hansgrohe are next off the ramp as we enter the final five teams here. Road world champion Peter Sagan is here, though it's standard team colours today for the Slovak. Rafal Majka is the team's GC hope, the Pole gearing🎐 up for a first sℱhot at the Tour de France overall. 

Novo Nordisk, with six rider🤪s, stop the clock on 26:12. That's the slowesꦏt time so far. 

This isn't looking great f🍎or Sky. Landa. for whom time trialling is a glaring ⛎weakness, loses the wheel and the train has to slow down slightly so as not to cut him adrift. 

Next off are Nippo-Vini Fantini, who, like Androni, were another Italian Pro🍷 Conti team n❀ot invited to the Giro. 

Aru doesn't look too comfortable either. He's on his lower bares - not the tuck ones - a lot here, and his position isn't stea❀dy. Astana in the final part of the course. 

Rosa is struggling for Sky, to🧜o. Him and Landa just hanging on at the back now, not even thinking about coming through for a turn. 

Astana stop the clock on 24:15

Crash!

Replays show ꦏthat Moscon's wheel just disintegrated and crumbled underneath him. Crazy. Ro📖ad rash all over his back. 

Astana's ride puts Aru two seconds down on Nibali, but over half a minu🧸te down on Pinot and Quintana. 

Meanwhile, AG2R La Mondiale are off the ramp

Sky come towards the line 🍒now. Can they limit the damage?

No they cannot. 25:02 is the time. That leaves them 13th as it stands.&nb🐷sp;

UAE Team Emirates are next up - the penultimate team off the ramp. Can Rui Costa continue his stellar start to the ✅season? The former world champion has rediscovered the winning touch, taking victory on the queen stage of the Vuelta a San Juan, and doing the same at the Abu Dhabi Tour to win the overall. He was also on the p🦩odium at the Tour of Oman. 

Katusha come ♏to the line. Not a great ride🗹 for them either, even if they finished with seven. 24:56.

Here come BMC! 🍬The American team have twice been world TTT champions, and they're out to beat the time of Quick-Step, who have won it three🏅 times. 

Sagan is part of a Bora bare five that stops the clock on 24:31. That's the 12th quickest time. 

BMC look good out there, as always. Five of their eight have been part of the Worlds-winning line-ups: Dennis, Oss, Phinney, Kung, Qui♕nziato. 

Lots of buzz on social media surrജounding Moscon's wheel. Here's a grainy photo posted 🏅on Twitter by Eurosport's Laura Meseguer. 

Here come Nippo-Vini Fantini with six. They're one second off Bardiani, if I🌳talian Pro Conti rivalry means anything. 25:42 is their time💃. 

AG2R come to th🧸e line now and this is going to be a decent time for the French outfit. 24:20. It's good enough for 12th as it stands. 

BMC still have a full complement of eight riders as they turn and come back along the coast.&nb🐲sp;

UAE and BMC the only two times left o🎉ut on the course. 

Quinziato'🦂s speedo is showing 62km/h. This looks fast 💃from BMC.

The Quick-Step boys watc🍎h on nervously in the finish area, and they won't like the fact that all eight BMC riders are still there, still tꦓaking turns and still looking fluid as ever. Five km's to go until we know the winner. 

24:29 for UAE Team Emirates. Costa said the TTT could hampe🔜r his overall ambitions, and he's facing a m🍰assively uphill task now. 

So♕, this is now all about the stage win, with just BMC left out on the course. 

Quinziato pulls off and wishes his teammates good luck. His work is done - up to the rest to ♓bring it home. 

Van Avermaet is starting to suffer on the back as BMC enter the final kiloဣmetre.

Bu they have a minute and 10 seconds to get to the line for the win. BMC are going to snatch th🗹is, it seems. 

BMC win it!

23:20 for the form🐬er 🐷TTT world champions. A full 17 seconds quicker than Quick-Step.

There was actualওly a small gap between the first four riders and the fifth - not that it will matter. A convincing victory for BMC. 

Damiano Caruso leads the race overall

What BMC will be equally pleased with, though, is where this leaves Tejay Van Garderen in his bid for the o🐲verall title. The American is riding the ꧒Giro this year and this is a big test for him.

I🃏'll put together a breakdown of where this leaves the GC favouri𒊎tes...

As promised, here's the GC complexion

Here's BMC on the podium

Here's our stage report page, where you can also find results 🌄a🌄nd photos.

There's also WorldTour racing going on over in France as we speak, with the time trial stage at Paris-Nice. We also have live coverage of that, and you might🙈 just catch the end of it if you move quickly. . 

Caruso pulls on the leader's jersey

Our man in Italy Stephen Farrand has been to the Team Sky bus as the inquisition into👍 that disappointing display begins. 

 

Over at Paris-🔥Nice, Julian Alaphilippe has taken a sensational victory in the uphill time trial to put himself into the leader's yellow jersey.

It seems it wasn't just Moscon... Shimano have some eꦦxplaining to do

Last RT: W💝ow. BMC just rode the fastest TTT in history, 𓃲and by some distance. 

Here's what's in store tomorrow

Thanks for your company today, and do make sure you join us again tomorrow for that long and punchy stage, which looks like a cracker. We'll also have full live coverage of stage 5 of Paris-Nice, and in the meantime keep up to date with all the news and reaction from both races on Cyclingnews. I'll leave you with today's stage report an𒆙d a corker of a photo from Tim de Waele. Bye!
