Orica GreenEdge est décidément l’équipe de ce début de Tour de France. Cet après-midi à Nice, les Australiens ont dominé le chronomètre en signant un record de vitesse sur la Grande Boucle sur la Promenade des Anglais. Simon Gerrans, vainqueur de la dernière étape en Corse hier, en profite pour rafler le maillot jaune.
Avec une moyenne de 57,8km/h, les Australiens ont été les plus rapides de parcours très plat dans Nice. Pourtant, pendant de longues minutes, les Omega-Pharma Quick Step pensaient avoir réussi le temps de référence autour de leur combatiff leader Tony Martin. Cependant, la moyenne de 57km/h n’a pas suffi même si les Sky échouent à deux secondes et les Saxo-Tinkoff de Contador à huit secondes (l’équipe danoise a perdu Benjamin Noval qui s’est blessé à la main en percutant l’appareil-photo d’un spectateur). Il fallait attendre le passage d’Orica GreenEdge qui prend la première place pour une petite seconde, une petite seconde qui offre la victoire d’étape à l’équipe sensation de ce début de Tour de France et sept dixièmes qui permettent à Simon Gerrans de revêtir le maillot jaune. Les Australiens se sont promenés.
