BMC Racing won the 35.5-km team time trial, the third stage of the Tour de France, ahead of Chris Froome’s Team Sky, here on Monday.
BMC clocked 38 minutes 46 seconds as its Belgian rider Greg van Avermaet took the yellow jersey, with Sky in second place, four seconds behind.
Defending champion Froome had lost 51 seconds to some of his main rivals following a crash in the opening stage, but the collective effort against the clock put him back in contention.
