Good morning everyone and welcome to today’s Stage 1 from Rotterdam to Brussels. I’ll be joining editor Bill Strickland in Bicycling Magazine’s Live Blog once again today. Please come over and join the fun–yesterday’s conversation was quite interesting. Share your picks, ask a question, or just enjoy talking about the race with other fans–I’ll be happy to see you!
Will Tyler Farrar provide the fireworks on this Fourth of July?

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.
