fotobureau Cor VosINEOS Grenadiers wins the team time trial by two seconds over Lidl–Trek. Or rather, over Juan Ayuso, as the Spaniard rides the final stretch alone. He sprints to the line, just enough to take the yellow jersey. Kévin Vauquelin and Oscar Onley of INEOS are now second and third, respectively, 2 and 3 seconds behind. (Slideshow route/profile)
