Stage 1: Monaco to Monaco

Time trial, so there is no group structure to analyse. Watch the last few starters.

Before the off: On paper, it's an individual time trial, and it should go to a prologue specialist. And I'd be surprised if it went any other way.

9 km against the clock.
Short enough that the gaps will be small.
