A quick look on streetview shows wide boulevards and avenues, but you never know how they will barricade it (hopefully commonsensically).
Should make for some entertaining camera work though.
I had never even heard of the Atomium until search's Stage One preview. :P:o
I'll save my annual rant against TT bikes, and how I desperately wish the teams were required to use road bikes instead...Fully agree with the rant.
Speaking of cameras. Will we miss out on heli shots of the end of stage 1 and start of stage 2 due to flight restrictions in the area? I'm sure I read about it.Hm. If this were any other race, I'd say yes. But with the Tour, they're not unlikely to make an exception even from that rule.
No bonus seconds at the intermediate today (what's that all about)My guess is that you can give out time bonifications only at one kind of intermediate sprints - either the regular ones (like most other races do), or the top of selected climbs (like the Tour does this year - but not at both.
Groenewegen likely to be dropped, so we could see Teunissen in yellow or maybe even Van Aert.
Teunissen in yellow one stage earlier than I thought.
How on earth have Jumbo improved so much at TTs so quickly?

Asked Jumbo-Visma boffin Mathieu Heijboer when they started working towards today, thinking he’d say January or something similar.
Him: "2015"
