Garmin-Sharp viste tænder på hjemmebane

Garmin-Sharp har holdtidskørsel som en af deres spidskompetencer, og det viste de på anden etape i Tour og Utah, som netop var en 21,7 kilometer lang kamp mod uret for de deltagende hold.

Det amerikanske hold kørte ruten i tiden 22.35 minutter, og det var 32 sekunder hurtigere end nummer to, Rabobank, og yderligere fem sekunder hurtigere end treerne fra RadioShack-Nissan.

De otte Garmin-Sharp ryttere startede som det tolvte af de i alt sytten deltagende hold, og det viste sig hurtigt, at det ville blive vanskeligt at stille noget op mod den velsmurte maskine. Ved alle mellemtider lå de klart foran de tidligere startende hold, og heller ingen af de fem resterende hold kunne slå Garmin-tiden.

Sidste hold på ruten og på den afsluttende 7,25 kilometer lange rundstrækning, der skulle køres tre gange, var UnitedHealthcare med den førende rytter, Rory Sutherland, som dog med et tidstab på 52 sekunder til Garmin-Sharp måtte aflevere førertrøjen til Christian Vande Velde.

Den forsvarende vinder, Levi Leipheimer, sluttede med sit Omega Pharma-QuickStep hold allersidst, og han må med et tidstab på dagens etape på hele 2.03 minutter formentlig se langt efter det eftertragtede forsvar af sejren fra de to foregående år.

Til gengæld kørte danske Brian Vandborg og hans SpiderTech-hold en ganske udmærket holdtidskørsel. De sluttede som nummer elleve, foran Liquigas-Cannondale, et minut og 16 sekunder efter vinderne fra Garmin-Sharp.
