K Ishaug Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I have looked at every link and can not find the start times of each stage - any of you know?? Kevin
Rudi Pollard Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Hi Kevin, The first batch is usually off at 7am if I remember correctly. Batches go off at 10 minute intervals.

Batches go off at 10 minute intervals.E-Mail Epic re start of the Prologue, for others: 2 Stage Starts 12.1 The start chute opens 45 minutes before the start of each stage, unless communicated otherwise. 12.2 Differential start zones will be allocated according to overall ranking in the race, and the organisers may allocate different (i.e. “staggered”) start times for each starting zone. Should staggered start times be allocated, any reference to start times in these rules will be to the start time applicable to the particular rider’s start zone. 12.3 The leading 5 teams in the men’s category and the leading 3 teams in the women’s category, as well as the overall leaders in each of the other categories (category leader jerseys), will be called up. Teams are obliged to assemble in the start paddock immediately next to the start line no later than 10 minutes before the start. 12.4 The seeded starting zones will close strictly 10 minutes before their start time. Teams arriving late must start at the back of the field. 12.5 Riders must enter the start zone as a team with their bikes, and once entered must remain in the start zone with their bikes.
Cloudbase999 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 For the prologue you'll receive a start time at registration. Your prologue time determines your batch for stage 1. As Rudi said, on most days the first batch starts around 7, but it sometimes varies for longer / tougher and shorter / easier stages. Announced the night before during briefing and also distributed via sms each day.
