I woke up excited to see rain outside the window 90 minutes ago in Champhin-en-Pevele. It's already drying up though, and it is cloudy still but sun is forecast for the rest of the day, so it doesn't look like the wet will play a factor.
Hi, skids. Lovely weather, as a spectator. Where will you stand?
I am not sure yet - the juniors pass in 45 minutes, I will try watching at the turn on sector 5, and will see how that works. It is a puzzle to balance being in a place that something may happen to being close to a TV to see what does happen in the end.
I just rode sector 5 and 4... cobbles are dry, except for a small section at the end of Carrefour that is shaded by trees, but it is only about 30m long and the sun will be in a position to dry it by the time the race passes, I think. Sector 5 (Champhin) is very wet and muddy in the gutters in the first and last part and that won't dry, that is the only part I could see being quite iffy during the race (the gutters on Carrefour are narrow and mud packed). The middle part of sector 5 is so muddy and packed in between the cobbles that it didn't even feel like being on cobbled roads, so that is a bit disappointing, but the start of Champhin is muddy and difficult. All in all those sectors look like they should be mostly 'normal'.
