#FrancoBelge - PREVIEW - stage 3: Hazebrouck (F) › Nieuwport (164km) 

The peloton faces a stage towards the Belgian coast today. The riders will cross an area notorious for its strong winds. Sports Director Frans Maassen: “Our meteorologists at Weerplaza, however, have predicted that the wind will turn and come from the front today. So we’ll have to wait and see what’s possible. Normally, it would be a stage to try something.”
