Bonjour!  This was another long, hot, rolling day through beautiful countryside, heading south. The anticipated issue for the riders was crosswinds, always tricky. A breakaway of five riders began the campaign but were soon reigned in.The groups came together, split and divided so much – it was really hard to keep up. The finish was one for the sprinters and this time, Wout van Aert took the glory by an absolute whisker! I was confused but happy! Fab stage!
