In hindsight, this stage could and should have been a lot better with tailwind. The race organizers should have designed the state with a Western wind in mind...

Yep, and the normal wind direction in Atlantic Europe is westerly/southwesterly so it's not like they were taken by surprise. Was the same at stage 3 into Dublin where I live in last year's Giro - the last 10km were straight into a guaranteed headwind. Was as if they wanted a meaningful procession followed by a sprint finish...
