Local time, of course (dumbass..). That's CEST by the way, or UTC+2.

Now, now, no need for insults.
In an international forum it makes sense to always qualify times with the relevant
zone or to use UTC (or GMT as I still call it).

Any one see an accurate Stage 1 OLN schedule?

Last years prologe was a bit later in the AM than the usual stages.

So this year is it the usual 6-8:30am (west coast) or is it a few
hours laters like last year?

OLN's web site is weak...

All I can find is this (Eastern time zone reference):

It looks like the first rider is off at 15.30 French time.

I'm not sure when that means OLN will start, but it does put the start
at around 6.30 am PST if I've got the math right.

Well, I've tried it twice and got an error message each time.

It's there for me.

When it does work you'll get a long listing of Dutch equivalents
for 'dumbass'. See, hanging out here is not a total waste of
time.
