from various tweets, some riders are opting for standard road bikes - I assume anyone who is even half serious about doing well today will be full TT kit though?

Bouhanni seemed to do it on a normal bike. Probably better for the the corners so maybe the thinking is normal road bikes + skinsuits/overshoes etc

It's easier to navigate a road bike, but I can't see anyone riding for the win with one.

That tiny hill in the profile, is that anything as well?
Where do you see the hill? All I see is dead flat

In the ticker the route seems undulating but the max altitude is probably 32.2m:D

Actually, there are 7m difference between start and finish, I thought there is no difference at all

Kristoff 5th best so far.

Not too bad, probably good enough to have a shot at yellow in the next couple of stages at least.
