London prologue 2007

The ‘big hitters’ will go off near the end, and feature time trial specialists and team leaders. There is no number 1 this year and Oscar Pereiro goes last.

Britain’s David Millar told us that ‘the prologue isn’t technical and there isn’t a corner where the Tour can be lost, with only one corner where you have to brake.’
