The photogra🦹phers are getting creative at the start.

10 points if you can guess which riders 💦these are?

Just under half an hour to go until the neutralised rꦿoll-out𒀰.

TDF stat

This is a great stat: thanks to Tim Me🔯rlier's win yesterday, ♛Soudal-QuickStep have now won at least one stage in that last 13 Tours de France.

Rem꧅co Evenepoel will be certainly hoping to make it more than one in this Tour, though – maybe even tomꦺorrow in the TT.

And here's the 🦂actual start line looking all Tour-ified.

Here's the view at ꧃the start and bus paddock this morning:

You can even watch the sign-on live, if you want:

The last time the Tour was in Amiens, for 🐽a finish in 2018, Dylan Groenewegen won the stage.

Could this be a sign that he'll have a good day toda🀅y?

Cockpit stickers are honestly my passi♎on. Love this one.

It was a 𓄧rollercoaster three days for Jasper P♈hilipsen – from yellow to crashing out.

If you're waiting for the Tour to start, the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia Women is also on thisꦫ week, so🌊 I'd recommend tuning into that – stage 3 is underway now, and they're about to go over the highest point of the race.

The 𒁃riders have just started signing on in Amiens.

The neutralised start is set for 13.15 CEST, with ಌthe flag drop arou🌄nd 20 minutes later.

Here's a photo that sums up how chaotic yesterday was – Paul Penhoët walking to the finish after crashing on the final c💝orner.

Here's what's on the cards today &nda🍸sh; 174.2km from Amiens to Rouen in northern France.

Today is a much punchier day, with bac🍎k-to-back short but steep climbs in the finale, and a little kick up to the line in Rouen to finish things off.

Historically, we'd call this a puncheur's day, but the𝔍se days, stages like this o𓃲ften draw out the GC riders too, who are also some of the best puncheurs (and time trialists, and climbers, and descenders...).

Myও colleague James is on the ground, here's what people♉ have been telling him about today:

Yesterday was a 💃really flat, pure sprinters' day, but even that delivered some chaos. Here's what 🎉happened:
