Opening ceremony

Just had the opening ceremony and team presentation at a lovely outdoor venue in Abu Dhabi.

Team agrees that it was very exciting to see all the teams and to absorb the whole race vibe. Very festive.

After being here since Tuesday we are itching for the race to start.

We are on the way back to the hotel now and need to get our bags packed for the prologue. Breakfast is available from 4am. We get transported at 6am and start at 8am.

Lauren, Garth and Christiaan say hi to everyone too.
Photo of the mosque is of the huge one near the hotel, just outside of the city. Still under construction. When completed it will be second biggest in the World, so we have been told. It really is impressive.
