Van Garderen poised to take yellow during TTT to Plumelec
BMC's Tejay van Garderen is sitting in third place overall at the Tour de France and could potentially move into yellow during Sunday’s stage 9 team time trial from Vannes to Plumelec.
After the stage 8, which finished with Alexis Vuillermoz (AG2R-La Mondiale) taking the stage win on the Mûr-de-Bretagne, Chris Froome (Team Sky) leads the overall by 11 seconds over Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) with van Garderen position in third at 13 seconds back.

BMC won the world title in the team time trial in Ponferrada, Spain, last year, where they beat Orica-GreenEdge and Omeg Pharma-QuickStep. Van Garderen, Rohan Dennis, Daniel Oss and Manuel Quinziato were all members of that winning performance.
"With the team I have and what they have shown so far, I think we are pretty confident," van Garderen said. "We are just going to go out there and ride as hard as we can. We have four world champions in that discipline on the team, so we will put out the best performance that we think we can."
