Amaury Sport Organisation, the organizers of the Tour de France, revealed the full details of the second stage (166 kilometers). Starting in Utrecht, the cyclists head south to Zeeland via Rotterdam on the artificial island of Neeltje Jans.
"For the first time, the Tour de France will experience offshore racing," Prudhomme said according to Cyclingnews. "The harbours and beach resorts of France have offered prestigious finishes by the sea. But only the Netherlands can allow to design a finish line "in the sea", at the heart of the Zeeland Delta. This unlikely geographical situation will mainly alert the title contenders: risks of echelons are to be highly considered."
