A crosswind could create challenges over 140km, heightening the risk of crashes. The final 30km includes steep hills that will test riders' control and positioning. Early stages of the race will see crashes and tension, especially for favorites. The subsequent stages will feature accessible viewing for fans, with anticipated excitement in Dunkirk due to potential windy conditions.
The climbs of Mont Cassel and Le Mont Noir won't be enough to split the peloton, making a bunch sprint likely unless windy conditions arise.
