First day of the tour on these narrow roads and then rain!


Outside of rain tomorrow has very narrow twisty roads also.

The early Tour nerves certainly didn't get extinguished today. My bet is an early large breakaway with the peloton sitting up and relaxing until near the end and just missing catching the remains of the breakaway. I would expect the 3 Pro teams trying to get their sponsor's names out there along with some of lower powered World teams.

Had no idea today was the first time an Israeli rider had EVER ridden in the tour.
Kind of blows my mind really.
It seems there are big things expected from Israeli Start Up Team already.. securing Froome didn’t hurt. Will be interesting to follow. Also didn’t realize CCC doesn’t have a sponsor for next year. Tough business in Cycling.


ETA: Holy shite. Had no clue there was no TTT this year and the ITT is literally the last stage before the Champs Elysees...
Huh?!?!
I was wondering why tomorrow and Monday were other mountain stages.
This tour is gonna be ... not one for the sprinters that’s for sure. Wow
