Orica Greenedge won the team trial in the Eneco Tour of the Benelux Countries this afternoon.
Euskatel were the first team down the ramp on this 18.9 course which started and finished in Sittard, followed by Alberto Contador's Saxo Bank team who have signed Nicholas Roche for the next two seasons.
Euskatel finished in a time of 22.18, a time well beaten by Saxo Bank who came home in 21.36.
That was not beaten until Greenedge came home in a time of 21.08, then Omega Pharma came in a second behind followed by Katusha who came home in 21.11.
None of the teams including Team Sky who posted a time of 21.45 and BMC who had three riders down in a touch of wheels, could get near the time and it was the Australian side which won.
Orica Greenedge's Jens Keukeleire now leads the race.
