Tour de France - Prologue: Rotterdam

The prologue is back, having been absent from the programme since London (2007).

Start: Saturday 3 July

As a reminder, the first foreign start of Le Tour took place in the Netherlands, in Amsterdam in 1954. This time, we will be setting off from Rotterdam. The route of this prologue through the city centre over the Erasmus Bridge can be compared to a long pursuit race. It will probably be won by a specialist, such as Bradley Wiggins or Fabian Cancellara.
