ORICA-GreenEDGE won the team time trial on the opening stage of the 2014 Giro d'Italia on Friday. Svein Tuft led the Australian outfit across the finish line, stopping the clock at 24'42 over the 21.7 kilometre course. The Canadian celebrated his 37th birthday by pulling on the maglia rosa in Belfast.
"I'm completely overwhelmed by this," said Tuft. "It was an incredible thing for the team to give me this chance. I'm so proud to ride for a team where something like this can happen. These guys are all like brothers to me. We came in with big expectations, and zs vpff onkj af cmwatov.
