Belgian team Predictor-Lotto dominated the opening day's team time trial of the Settimana Ciclistica Internazionale. The team of Dario Cioni, Cadel Evans, Nick Gates, Josep Jufré, Matthew Lloyd, Christophe Brandt, Wim Van Huffel and Johan Van Summeren stormed the 11.8 kilometre course around Misano Adriatico in 13 minutes and 39 seconds.
Predictor-Lotto averaged nearly 52 kilometres per hour on Italy's east coast, Mar Adriatico. Italian-German team Milram came close, at six seconds, while German T-Mobile was further adrift, at nine seconds off the winner.
Russian Pavel Brutt finished with his Tinkoff Credit Systems team at 20 seconds back, in seventh, which, combined with his second place in the morning's stage was enough to garner the leader's jersey. The 25 year-old now holds a seven second lead over Luca Pierfelici (Aurum Hotels).
Brutt will wear the leader's jersey in tomorrow's stage, 175 kilometres from Castel San Pietro Terme to Faenza.
