I'm going to make a slightly biased guess
1. Dumoulin
2. Malori
3. Martin
The weather is going to be very hot, I think it will have an impact on the race. My guess therefore may become very wrong

No Tony Martin por favor, so I go with Dumoulin who should be favourite, he'll be superduper hot to win in Utrecht. But I voted Malori for the win; it is written.

Do keep in mind the flat stage passes Zeeland, which, with a bit of luck, should have a good chance of echelons.

Think Dumoulin, Cancellara and Martin will be in the top. The outsiders for me is Gva, Sagan, Brändle and EBH. |

Video below shows interactive look at the route which the prologue will be raced across. Looks quite technical, lots of road furniture in the way.

I'm actually with Malori for this stage. 
Wouldn't count at Kwaitkowski or Cancellara who have some pretty good technique with the bike.
EDIT: Actually wouldn't count out Martin, Dennis, Dumolin... (already listed above)

Kwiatek? Oh please. If he finishes in the top 10, it'll be a great surprise. |

He's in terrible shape. He's worse than last year. Since he won Amstel, he hasn't done anything. Literally, anything. |

Can't wait for the start of the tour. 
I guess Martin will win, but I hope for Dumoulin.. |

Strangely no Sagan in the poll and rider to watch in such a technicaql prologue, so i cant vote. Damn you and your bias Kirchen
Just kidding a bit, i expect Sagan around 5th place, with likes of Dumoulin, Cance,Martin and Malori being slightly better.

Just FYI this is not a prologue. Prologues are a maximum of 8km in length (or 9, can't quite remember) . This is stage one.
