It's a beautiful route
the one who wants to fight has chance to win
there are cobbles sections
you will be able to trap riders like Froome
There is everything on this Tour
with more climbs compared to last year
and one 50km Time Trial
there are cobles
with all this, it will of course be a difficult Tour
You'll have to go through cobbles safe
we know that we might have some falls and injuries
and you'll have to avoid them
Then you have the Spanish
some know how to manage cobles sections
some others don't
There are Mountains to climb
a long 52km Time Trial
really, everything is set to have fun
There are climbs and a only one Time Trial
the Time Trial is long and we might see some big differences
in the mountains you'll need to bring movement to make the difference
the new thing this year is the cobbled sections
like we had in 2010
It's a tricky stage, with a lot of nervosity
with risks of falls and mechanical issues
that can make you loose the Tour
well, it's a Tour where you have a bit a everything
I think is going to be huge
since English people know how to make it happen
like in France of course
they've done a good job with the tracing
Cavendish is now under pressure to win the first stage
it would be great for England if Cav could take the Maillot Jaune at home on his land
it's pretty clear that the second day is going to be tougher for him
all the little climbs will be to the advantage of other riders like P.Sagan
but anyway, I think it's going to be a tremendous start
I see Riblon pulling a coup in the beginning of the Tour
I've spoken to him, he is really excited by this year route
and he wants to wear the Maillot Jaune
that's why we could hear from him in the first week
My first ambition would be to wear the Maillot Jaune
I've never had the chance
and it's one of the goals I've set before the end of my carrier
one day, wearing this jersey that makes me dream
and that makes me dream since I was a child
and that brought me here
and win again a stage this year
I really want to feel again the sensation I felt last year
