Did i miss something, last year they started with a time trial.

 

Not this year? Not having really closely followed TDF previous years, got the impression last year the time trail was always the day 1:event.

it depends on wether the organisers decide to have a poloque.. not really a stage and not numbered as one either. SOME years the tour starts with a poloque other years they don't. the next stage is always noted as stage 1 though irrespective if there was a proloque or not

The Tour's mobile medical van - the first one to be introduced at the Grand Boucle.

 

The mobile unit is designed to alleviate the burden in travelling to a hospital to make a post-crash diagnosis.
