BMC Racing Team's Tejay van Garderen clocked the third-best time in the Stage 2 individual time trial Saturday at Critérium International and sits third overall and wearing the best young rider jersey heading into Sunday's final stage.
Van Garderen was one second off the winning time of 9:10 by Richie Porte (Sky Procycling) and tied on time with runner-up Manuele Boaro (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) on the technical, 7 km course.
Saturday morning's opening stage of the two-day race was won by Theo Bos (Blanco Pro Cycling Team). Sunday's 176.0 km final stage features six categorized climbs, including a mountain-top finish that van Garderen said should favour him. "We go into tomorrow trying to figure out a way to win this race," he said. "I've studied the last climb a little bit and we saw the first part of it in training the other day. It looks like a nice climb, steady, and not too steep. It looks like it suits me pretty well. I'm going to try to do what I can."
