 Cavendish is the first Brit in 24 years to lead the Vuelta a Espana
|
Mark Cavendish took the leader's red jersey in the Tour of Spain after his HTC-Columbia squad won the floodlit opening team time trial in Seville.
Cavendish was first across the line as his nine-man team covered the 13km course in 14 minutes six seconds.
Cavendish, 25, becomes the first British rider to lead the Vuelta a Espana since Robert Millar in 1986.
And he will expect to stay in red with a sprint finish in Marbella on Sunday, at the end of a 173.7km stage.
Team Sky's young squad, including British trio Peter Kennaugh, Ian Stannard and Ben Swift, finished 14th, 28 seconds behind HTC-Columbia.
Saxo Bank, including Luxembourg's Andy and Frank Schleck and Swiss time trial world champion Fabian Cancellara, were third, 12 seconds behind the winners and two seconds off the Liquigas outfit of Italy's Vincenzo Nibali.
