The questions will be how a pro manages without the support he is used to and whether his speed and endurance require rest and recovery.
If last night is anything to go by, it looks as though this will be more of a race with a number of contenders.
Sadly I can't see that Davis Coulon #131 started.

His profile on FRRT looks odd:
http://www.frrt.org/tcrno4/r/130-david
He's listed as active, with no elapsed distance, but only 217km distance left to Clermont-Ferrand (last update 10 minutes ago), which suggests that there may be something wrong with his tracker? I don't want to give you false hope, but perhaps it's not all over yet. :)
BTW we're nearly 5 hours in and Geoffroy Dussault has a moving average speed of 37.9km/h!!!
Compare that to the very creditable (but slightly more realistic speeds) of @skinny 32.8km/h and @hippy 28.8km/h
@WornCleat maybe that answers your question about how pros would fare... I wonder how long he can keep it up for.
