The riders and team managers all become weather experts on the morning of this type of stage. There will be no need for panic as the stage passes Isbergues. However, following the climb of the Côte de Cassel, the final 35 kilometres will be exposed to the wind. Will it blow? And in which direction? The stage has been designed to encourage the formation of echelons, or, failing that, for a bunch finish near the Marcel-Tribut Stadium.
