Stage delayed slightly due to strong winds. We could be in for a very interesting stage!

They're just trying to get people to watch what should be another boring sprint stage with only one sprinter left in the Tour!

With those winds and several open roads on the course it is in no way unrealistic that some people will try something. We'll have to see!

Problem with echelons in the TdF is that they go through so many towns. So teams work hard to create the gap, get it, then they go through a sheltered town centre & everyone gets back on.
