BMC Racing retain team time trial world title

Italians Manuel Quinziato and Daniel Oss, American Taylor Phinney, Swiss Silvan Dillier and Stefan Kung and Australian Rohan Dennis clocked 42 minutes 7 seconds on the 38.6-km course.

They beat Belgian team Etixx-Quick Step, led by triple individual time trial world champion Tony Martin, by 11 seconds, according to provisional timings.

Spanish outfit Movistar took the bronze.

"This was a huge goal for us, I'm honoured to be part of that team," said Phinney, who recently returned to competition after more than a year on the sidelines following a crash.

Earlier on Sunday, the women's team time trial event was won by the Velocio-SRAM team.
