A bunch sprint should really be the order of the day in Nimes as the overall race leaders riders get their legs back with the Pyrenees on the horizon.

Apparently it's blowing a fair bit over in the south west of France, causing the start of the publicity caravan and the rollout to be delayed, each by around 10 minutes.

And after his mini crack on Wednesday, will anyone be able to use that to their advantage, to put the yellow jersey, Tadej Pogacar, under pressure?

Time will tell I suppose.
