Welcome to the Prologue of the 2010 Tour de France. Today’s race takes the riders over 8.9km of roads in downtown Rotterdam.
I’ll be live blogging with Bicycling Magazine editor and author of the recent Tour de Lance, Bill Strickland, over at Bicycling today. Please stop-by and share your questions or join the conversation. Hope to see you there!
Here’s my pick to take the Tour’s first yellow jersey–who’s yours?

About Whit
My experiences might easily fit many cycling fans' definitions of “living the dream.†Since getting hooked on the sport watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship, I've raced as an amateur on Belgian cobbles, traveled Europe to help build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux. As a former assistant director sportif with Mercury-Viatel, I've also seen the less dreamy side of the sport – the side rife with broken contracts, infighting, and positive dope tests. These days, I live with my lovely wife in Pennsylvania and share my experiences and views on the sport at Bicycling Magazine, the Embrocation Cycling Journal, and at my own site, Pavé.
I think Mr Armstrong’s got a few issues to put right, so he might put in a good one.
Having said that if our Brad wins, it I will be more than happy
