Team Sky storm to Giro success

Team Sky stormed to victory on the second stage of the Giro d’Italia yesterday.

The 17.4 kilometre team time-trial played perfectly to the strengths of the British team and they blitzed the course in a time of 22 minutes five seconds.

And the time gained on their closest challengers was enough to put young Italian Salvatore Puccio into the pink jersey. Bradley Wiggins is second overall, in the same time, and has gained significant seconds on his overall rivals.
