Tirreno Adriatico Stage 1 - Green Edge have the Edge

Just a quick one for those of us doing the Fantasy Tirreno-Adriatico. Which seems to be the Bile Beans, Chanbots and Roulers - correct me if I'm wrong.

Stage 1 was a team time trial, which was won by the new Australian outfit GreenEdge. They did seem to be suffering from "the curse of the new team", where the newest big-money team on the Pro-Tour get crappy results in year one - see Sky in 2010, and Lay-O-Pard Schleck in 2011. They may have got lucky with the wind, but they won by 17 seconds, which is pretty impressive over km.

There's no scores yet. So again, it's anyone's guess who's winning. But my guess is that those Roulers are off to an early lead, thanks to picking new race leader Matt Goss of GreenEdge.
