At 80 km from the finish, the wind is stronger earlier. I have little doubt that it will split with such gusts.Yes but the question is if the wind will have picked up enough by then. It will definitely be mayhem at some point
Honestly basically already from 100km from the finish. I just can't see how this won't be absolute carnage. Ineos will try to set something up definitely, they need to and they have the team for it.

After what he did in stage 1 someone could tell me that Brennen was gonna drop Pocagar on alpes dhuez and I wouldn't immediately dismiss the takeSure, but I don't even know if Search said that Brennan was gonna win. He asked a question if it was possible. No it wasn't. I would say peak Matthews could and that's what people are comparing Brennan too.
Excellent . . . Nairo will get a chance to show off his echelon riding skills!Yes but the question is if the wind will have picked up enough by then. It will definitely be mayhem at some point

Didn’t realize he was at Teide camp for 4 straight weeks prior to start. Wives and kids must rue the way winter training camps have grown—that used to be the time of year they saw more of their partner/dad.
So he's saying it's nice to win?
Bernal lost more than 30"![]()
After having to recover after the Jean gravel race and crash i didn't think he would be as good as he has in this race. So I am encouraged, I still hope he can get close to his best ever again. Would love to see Bernal win some stages and races this year.He did crack a little but he read the Ganna playbook and kept the damage to a minimum. I am a fan and seeing his immediate comeback after...another injury is inspiring!! Seeing the way the guy fights has me routing for him!!
3 weeks at Teide and now 1 week in Catalunya = 4 weeks from family.Didn’t realize he was at Teide camp for 4 straight weeks prior to start. Wives and kids must rue the way winter training camps have grown—that used to be the time of year they saw more of their partner/dad.
Roglič's wife injured her leg a few weeks ago and she can't run around with two kids yet. But they usually join him in Tignes every year.Don't know about Roglic, but some guys take their family with them to Teide nowadays. Merlier and Theuns went there all together with partner and kids last year, for example.
Safety discussions going on. Riders are scared for the wind gust.
I'm pretty scared for tomorrow, average wind will be less strong inland, but wind gusts up to 100km/u will be problematic up a mountain.
It would help if they didn't use deep rims. Iirc, that mattered for who crashed from gusts during Gent-Wevelgem 2015.Safety discussions going on. Riders are scared for the wind gust.

View: https://x.com/CyclingReport/status/1905584073373856179I agree, there should be a rule to prohibit riders from using them when it's windy.
But it's obvious that a lot of riders do take the risk and have them and in a peloton it is obviously dangerous, for everyone, even for the riders who don't take the risks.
If I'm correct some riders wanted the first part of the stage neutralized cause there would be less wind gusts towards the coast
