I wonder if Rotterdam prologue will feature some tram tracks when they organise the start of the TdF.
It's already difficult for old pieces of junk city bikes to deal with these guys at 20k/h and fat wheels, even knowing the area (anyone ever jumped tram tracks in Amsterdam

. I can only hypothesise how difficult it is when you are doing 30-50k/h on tubes, not knowing the track as second nature.
From the fact that they went 50k/h at the end of the stage you can't logically conlcude that it wasn't dangerous. In the end you are in the Giro and if you drop out/refuse to ride, you lose (time) regardless. The caravane never stops, not even when someone dies.
On top of that, happy debating with Zomegnan and (many) of the riders, because apparently they did find it too dangerous. Zomegnan neutralized the stage, after lap 1 or 2, or even before the race, because he agreed. The only issue he had, was that riders stopped midway in protest, as he thought he had succesfully dealt with their grievances.
Good to see that forum posters have a better understanding of the racing conditions then those who race daily...
