Tour de France Stage Preview - Prologue

Prologue (not a stage due to it's distance), 9km (5.5mi) Mostly flat with some tricky middle sections that cold prove difficult if it rains as expected. Expect the Overall favorites to take it easy if it's wet. You can't win the Tour in the Prologue, but you can lose it. If conditions are drastically different for the first half of the 189 rider field, expect lower tiered favorites to take yellow on the first day. Bet on Tony Martin - HTC Columbia.
