Pro Continental squad Bora-Argon 18 stunned WorldTour heavies at the opening stage of Giro del Trentino, winning the stage 1 team time trial in Arco, Italy on Tuesday.
The Bora team eked out the win, coming ahead of Team Sky by 18 hundredths of a second, averaging 56.663kph over the flat, 13.3km course. Astana finished third, four seconds adrift of the top-two teams.
Thanks to his team’s efforts, Bora’s Cesare Benedetti is the first overall leader in the hilly, four-day race. The 27-year-old Italian will wear the leader’s jersey tomorrow as the race continues with a 168km stage from Dro to Brentonico. Wednesday’s race will offer three categorized climbs, and the last of the trio, a category-two, will serve up a summit finish in the Parco del Baldo.
