The 2017 BinckBank Tour continues with a short and punchy stage two nine-kilometre individual time trial on Tuesday.

The flat course takes the riders around Voorburg in the Netherlands in what promises to be a fast stage.

Stage one winner Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) is the last rider off at 16:33 local time, with Piet Allegaert (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise) kicking the day off at 13:28.

The first 166 of the 176 riders will set off at one-minute intervals, with the top 10 departing with gaps of two minutes.

Time trial specialists to watch out for are Maciej Bodnar (Bora-Hansgrohe) at 13:29, Alex Dowsett (Movistar) at 13:30, Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) at 13:34, Jos Van Emden (LottoNL-Jumbo) at 13:36, Lars Boom (LottoNL-Jumbo) at 13:42, Jon Dibben (Team Sky) at 13:53, world champion Tony Martin (Katusha-Alpecin) at 14:42 and Ryan Mullen (Cannondale-Drapac) at 15:25.

However, such a short course could also favour sprinters with a talent for short time trials, such as Marcel Kittel (Quick-Step Floors) or race leader Sagan, who has already said that he will give it everything.

Dowsett stated after the opening stage that he had purposefully finished near last on the stage to ensure an early start time before predicted rain later in the afternoon. Given the mass of TT specialists among the earlier starters, it’s evidently a tactic that others have shared.
