Stage 1 is mostly flat with a short bump at the start. It is going to be a stage where the top contenders may show their cards. Being a 19km TT it could open up some gaps and give riders like Lance Armstrong, Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso some time over riders such as Iban Mayo and Roberto Heras. It is a stage where some top contenders are going to find themselves already behind. So you can’t win the Tour on Stage 1 but you sure can pave the way to losing it.
Here are a few maps of the tour:
