The Tip of the Tail. PN23-3
Today’s stage looked nearly pancake flat. The organizers and most of the riders had hoped that the winds would come and blow the race into broken shards of echelons. Fortunately for those like Thibaut Guernalec (Arkea Samsic) who had crashed in the opening stage yesterday, the winds didn’t blow up. While he was struggling to hold onto the last wheel of the peloton, he along with the rider from Uno-X and Mauro Schmid (Soudal-Quickstep) it was a lot easier to stay in contact without the wind blowing across the fields and into the riders of Paris Nice.
