BMC Racing won the opening team time trial of the 2014 Giro del Trentino on Tuesday, putting the squad's Daniel Oss into the early race lead.
The US-based team clocked a time of 14 minutes and two seconds over the flat 14.3 kilometre route to beat NetApp-Endura in second at 15 seconds and Team Sky in third at 19 seconds.
BMC's average speed of 57.292km/h is only just outside the record of 57.8km/h set by Orica-GreenEdge in last year's Tour de France. The comfortable margin of victory for BMC puts team leader Cadel Evans in a good position going into tomorrow's road stage.
Sky's line-up includes Bradley Wiggins, but only supported by five team-mates rather than the eight-man rosters of the majority of other teams in the race.
NetApp-Endura's line-up includes British rider Scott Thwaites. British time trial champion Alex Dowsett is part of Movistar's team, which placed fourth in the TTT.
The hilly four-day race continues on Wednesday with a 165km stage from Limone sul Garda to San Giacomo di Brentonico, which finishes atop a first category climb. The 2014 Giro del Trentino concludes on Friday, April 25.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
