As promised yesterday, here is the second batch of the pictures I made during the Prologue of the Tour de France 2012.
First of all a brief summary of the day. I went to Liege with the car and picked a shortcut to Herstal. Herstal is a small town in front of Liege, famous for its arms industries: FN Herstal. From Herstal I parked the car on the official P3 parking on Ile Monsin. From Ile Monsin there was a shuttlebus service to La Batte in Liege. The traditional fleamarket of Liege is being held normaly at La Batte, next to the Meusse river. As you can see in the picture below a big piece of the prologue is next to the Meuse.
I went to the Palace of Justice in the center of Liege to view the Caravane Publicitaire and the warm-up of the riders. The Caravane Publicitaire was amazing, never seen something like it before. The warm-up of the riders was also nice to watch, you get to see the riders often sometimes up to 8 times. During the prologue i have made some pictures of the race. The other pictures where taken on other points during the race. At last i also made some pictures of the warm-up of Levi Leipheimer, Wout Poels, Gesink, the equipment and the teambusses. Enjoy the pictures.
