Who is going to get the first yellow jersey of this tour?
We expect an early good time from Dennis Van Winden, the first of many Generali options.
On his way to a first indicator he even overtakes Timofeev and comes in first with 22'21. The winners time already? Also early in the race Schädlich comes in, equal to DvW on the first checkpoint. The finishing time is...
...on par too, but some blinks slower. In the meantime many come close but Yoann Paillot is finally able to beat the ultimate lead coming in on 22'13
But right behind two top times on the first timecheck from Robert and Kovalev, can one of these be the guy?
Robert beats the clock but Kovalev is even faster and the new leader by 10 seconds (22'00).
Cornu is the next guy to beat the time on the first checkpoint, will it be enough?
Yes, he's 7 seconds faster than Kovalev. But Yatsevich is even faster!
2 seconds is the margin. Cancellara just can't match him but gets third by six seconds. Now only Fiedler could realistically stop the CT guy from winning. But will he?
No! He misses out on the time of Yatsevich by one second, which means that we have a new leader:
