Looks like the break is formed right away.

 

[Andro]

Quemenuer, Clement, Barta and Fonseca in the breakaway. Nobody chasing, so looks like it's today's breakaway.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Well that was nailed on with Bora and Bretagne having a rider in the break!

Why was Frome positioned dead center in the front and not Nibali? So much media focus on Froome in the neutralized section of the grand depart one would think he had won the itt and last year's Tour. This is in Universal/NBC's coverage.

I noticed that. They said that Nibali gave his spot to a local teammate but neither Nairo or Alberto were in the front row either.

Lars Boom was the local Astana rider. Quintana was visible just behind the jersey wearer's.

Can see cancellara going solo 3 k out and taking yellow.

I gotta say, in terms of what we call "soft mobility", the Netherlands is decades ahead of any other european country.

Have you ever visited Copenhagen?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Has it split already?!

 

[Velolover2]

Peloton already splitting?

 

[Pricey_sky]

There's only about 60 riders in that front group!

 

[Andro]

Low pace in the peloton. Doesn't look like a serious split.

 

[Happy dude]

Where's the peloton?

 

[rmacek]

Split in peloton or big natural breaks?

Re:

Natural break most likely.

Re: Re:

Natural break most likely.

Yeah from the heli shot it looked stretched out but then on the close up shot you can see they aren't going very fast.

 

[sir fly]

Is the breakaway going to be caught before The Red Dam?
The audience there needs to deserve an elite sprint.
Is it going to be a combined ttt of, about, 50 kilometers?

Natural break most likely.

I doubt anyone will take a natural break until they are actually out of the city.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

All this hype about Dimension Data and the greatly enhanced information available to us: is there some race tracker data stream available, or just the live status page at letour.fr ?

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Why would you need a "natural break" half an hour into a four hour stage?

 

[l.Harm]

Hah turns out there's barely rain in Rotterdam, constantly changing predictions.. hope they will do a fine sprint.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Moviestar right behind Contador.

 

[Squirbos_19]

So who's actually going to sprint at the intermediate? Considering nearly all sprinters have said they're just going for stage wins and not the green jersey, I'm probably wrong but hasn't only Kristoff said he's trying to win it.

You live here, you know how unpredictable forecasts are

One thing for sure, it is raining at the finish at the moment.

 

[May0maniac]

The Rai reporters said about half an hour ago that they had strong wind, about 30 km/h, at the finish line and that they expected rain, you could see that it was pretty windy.

Within certain boundaries they can at least predict the coming two or three hours. Also those change all the time.
