So how is the wind situation?

It looks super calm. There's not even any real waves in the ocean.

 

[Krokro]

Yeah no wind and a 2 men breakaway. Nothing very exciting. Let's hope for some stronger wind later..

 

[RedheadDane]

Is it a redhead Dane?
... the friend, I mean.

Keep me out of this! I only just learned about the incident.

Take the penis talk to the clinic

NEVER! Or are you saying it's against the anti-doping rules to have a penis?

But, yeah... welcome to the cyclingnews innuendo squad!

Finnish commentator said that French weather reports strong winds in the end close to stage finish.

You're a naughty little Viking.
As soon as the gender-sensitive discussion started you showed up.
By then you've been in Italy.

I\ve seen too it's supposed to pick up.

I'm everywhere!
But still... a shame Bennett didn't fall (not that I want him to get hurt) considering that @bob.a.feet doesn't seem willing to test his previously stated theory... come on, man. Do it! For science! (And my amusement.)

 

[Breezy1985]

It literally was his penis. No innuendo here.

As the proud owner of a small Irish penis all I can say is when you got it flaunt it

Well I suppose I don't know what else I expected to read loading this 114km out on a pancake flat day with no wind...

 

[BlueRoads]

Well if Bennett does not win today he at least showed something.

There is a noticeable jump in wind gusts between 16:00 and 17:00 today looking at the most high res model I ve looked at. This chart suggest 1hr wind gusts between 30-40kmh

I'm expecting echelons with 40k to go... Is that possible??

 

[BlueRoads]

fear of wind in the peloton

 

[Breezy1985]

Is Rog in all out matching yellow or does he look just like the rest of JV ?

 

[spalco]

GC teams are on the front, something brewing maybe.

 

[Breezy1985]

Is Sam Bennett tucked in

 

[sir fly]

Closely observed train...

Not from an optimal direction though (sideways to the front), and fully against the last kms.
Wind picking up does mean peeing gets more difficult, so better do it know. D-QS obviously aware of this.

 

[tobydawq]

And people say the forum has died...

 

[virenque216]

I'm expecting echelons with 40k to go... Is that possible??

Looking at route map cross winds are possible more after they reach Rochefort until about La Rochelle which is a good 40km stretch of the road. Winds should increase as furter on the stage, speed is high today maybe because they want to avoid strongest period of gusts between 17:00 and 18:00

 

[spalco]

Splits!

 

[Volderke]

It starts (maybe). Will be nervous all day.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Its a long and windy road
