A Tour of ups for BMC
It wasn’t all Team Sky though. From day one, Shimano-sponsored riders took the 2015 Tour de France by the horns and never let go. Australian Rohan Dennis of the BMC Racing Team snatched the opening stage and the yellow jersey in Utrecht, the Netherlands, clocking the fastest average speed in a Tour time trial ever. BMC struck again in the team time trial in the 9th stage as they pipped their fellow Shimano riders from Team Sky to the finish line by less than a second. |
