None of the guys will get discovery points today. Not even a 100 points for speed data... They all under 30 minutes of exercise time.

Hehehe

Especially Impey who's on Vitality

The route organizers should've really considered adding an extra km ????

Cloud is moving over the course and could we be about to see that predicted rain?We've still got about 35 riders to depart so they will be hoping that is not the case.

That was a really hard 4-km course. It was tough. I was running out of legs. I decided to start early because it's been rainy later in the afternoon those past few days and I also wanted to get more recovery time ahead of tomorrow. I'm happy with that. Just the feeling makes me happy. I feel like I'm in good shape now. I still have some work to do and I hope to keep the momentum till the Tour de France.”

“My performance is so so. There are a lot of riders yet to start. 16 seconds down on Chris Froome is quite a lot but after five weeks without racing, it's reassuring to clock this time. It was my first time doing an uphill time trial as a pro. It's something I like as a climber. I'm improving my condition for the Tour de France and I hope that I'll be able to finish the Dauphiné in a good position overall again like in previous years.”

I'm not disappointed, nor satisfied. I didn't expect to ride a super prologue. I'm where I was supposed to be. It's a very difficult course, a very violent effort too, especially in the last kilometer which suits punchy riders. It requires pure strength. I'm here to prepare for the Tour de France. I'm not at 100% of my capacities yet. I aim more at next weekend. Starting on Friday, we'll have very interesting stages for climbers.”

The weather is holding out at present for the riders but there is weather expected before the end of the stage. That could affect some of the later starters such as Alberto Contador if it comes to fruition.
