July 5, 2014  Nine
rated climbs, including a rather early cat-2, is nothing to sneeze at.

Tour de France always used to start with a prologue, a short time

today. The opening prologue’s not the certainty it once
was. (inrng.com)

opening stages of major tours, like what the men tackled in the Tour de
France today." (cyclingnews.com)

near Como. For me it’s my seventh start in this race."

Wiggins, even with the No. 1 on his back.. (velonews.com)

Nieve
and Lopez.
