Stage 1 Prediction

The Tour de France opens with a 13.8-km (8.57-mile) individual time trial in Utrecht in the Netherlands.  Let's hope the weather is great and racing is fast!  There are 198 cyclists ready to go.  Will a time-trail speedster like Tony Martin come out on top?  We shall see.  Below is our first prediction for this year's Tour de France.

• Stage 1:  16' 38" (prediction)

We did well with most of the elite cyclists in last year's time trial, except Tony Martin was a bit faster than we thought.  I hope everyone enjoys the first stage!
