Arriving in Arnhem for the start of stage two seemed easy enough. Find the press parking, take some shots of the riders at sign on and then get on course before the riders roll out.

Snapping a couple of shots of Tom Dumoulin in the Maglia Rosa, then catching Nibali unpacking a fresh iPhone on the start line.

Back to the car post haste, and straight into a traffic jam of team cars on their way to the start position. Swimming against the tide it seemed hopeless and we were quickly turned around. Was looking like we wouldn’t be making the first spot. Desperately trying every possible solution and with a stroke of luck one of the streets lead straight to the course. It was now blocked but the official waved as through and we were on our way.
