Stage Details:
Tonight is stage 5, Carhaix Cap to Fréhel, 164.5km
Before the finale, the teams intent on making sure victory isn’t decided by a bunch sprint will have a chance to play their cards when the peloton takes the coast roads for the final 70km.
On the way crosswinds are a near certainty as the peloton cuts through Yffiniac — the native village of France’s last champion, five-time winner Bernard Hinault.
“There is a risk of winds and eventually splits in the peloton,” warned the race’s director of competition, Jean-Francois Pescheux.
