BMC wins stage three of the 2015 Criterium du Dauphine
The 22 teams contesting the 2015 Tour de France will line up for a key team time trial stage on Sunday, July 12.
After eight days of hard racing, the riders remaining in the race will tackle a hilly route from Vannes to Plumelec in Brittany, north-west France.
Chris Froome (Sky) goes into the stage in the race lead, but BMC Racing's Tejay van Garderen will undoubtedly aim to overthrow Froome at the top of the leaderboard. BMC are the current TTT world champions and have earmarked this crucial stage.

The team's finish time is given when the fifth rider from that squad crosses the line.
