What to look for

• Echelons. Purple wind lines when the winds are strong offer the potential for echelons to be formed.
• The heat. 30 plus degrees centigrade temperatures will affect some riders more than others.
• Headwinds. Headwinds will always favour the Peloton. The aerodynamic advantage is too great when the winds are strong for breaks to succeed. Smaller riders are more likely to suffer greater during headwind sections than the larger riders.
• Tailwinds. A tailwind may provide the launch platform for a winning break. The reduced wind speed reduces the aerodynamic advantage that the peloton has.
