The 2017 Tirreno-Adriatico kicks-off today with what's become a fairly traditional opening team time trial.

The 22 teams will compete over a 22.7km course along the coastal rode out and back from Lido di Camaiore. The profile is completely flat, so we should see some fast times posted on the board by those teams who pride themselves on a fast TTT.

BMC are on of those such teams, and they'll be the final team off the start ramp at 14:45 (GMT) with last year's overall winner Greg Van Avermaet within their ranks.

The first team off will be Lotto-Soudal at precisely 13:00, followed by GC hopeful Vincenzo Nibali's Bahrain-Merida team (in their first ever TTT) five minutes later.

Another of the GC favourites, Nairo Quintana, will be out on the road 20 minutes later with his Movistar teammates.

Last year's runners-up in the opening TTT, Quick-Step, will be off eighth at 13:35 and will be hoping to best the likes of BMC after narrowly missing out to the American team in last year's race.

Britain's Team Sky and Geraint Thomas will be starting their run at 14:15, with six more teams to follow.
