The Team Time Trial will be introduced at the 2012 World Championships in Holland so today's Stage 2 TTT at the Enco Tour was a 'taste' of what is to come. The TTT at Worlds will be for trade teams only, so organizers are including a TTT in their stage offering for teams to test it out.
Today in Holland it was Orica GreenEDGE winning, by 1 second, over Omega Pharma-Quickstep, with the top 5 in the GC now all GreenEdge with Svein Tuft sitting 3rd.
