BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Dutchman Mike Teunissen clung on to the yellow jersey for another day as his Jumbo-Visma team powered to victory in the Tour de France's second stage on Sunday -- a 27.6-km team time trial around the streets of Brussels.

It had looked as though first team out Team Ineos, with defending Tour champion Geraint Thomas leading them home, had put down an ominous marker as the next 21 teams could not match them. But Jumbo-Visma, the last to start, obliterated them.
