Welcome back to the Latin Rouge Cycling Podcast for stage six of the Twitter of France, another hectic nervous sprint stage from Macron.

I don't know how to say, I don't know why I said it like, it was a Spanish town in the Extra Madura, I don't know, Masson or Macon, I don't know.

Macon.

Macon.

164 kilometers long pancake flat, a solitary category 4 climb at the start, which offers a measly one point for

Abra Hampson and the rest is flat pretty much on a big road the whole time they

don't even go through too many villages the road furniture in the final wasn't even that bad.

But the big thing every director would have been looking at is the wind direction, which was correct,

four crosswinds for the most part they're heading north almost directly

north apart from heading east for a section of about 40 ks from merseur to puli,

puli, so sewn.

It's a difficult stuff here.

And then it goes straight again.

So direction looked good, but Benji,

the wind strength wasn't high enough that we were

guaranteed like something if it's cross tail wind and 50kpH average it will split

but it was it was high enough that we knew we'd have a nervous day all day.

Exactly and when it comes to echelon's it's also it's a nervousness throughout the stage as well

that can create crashes as well not necessarily echelon's alone, but if you all sprint for the same corner or

the same town that then goes into a cross-tailwind section, then you will potentially

have crashes towards that town or throughout that corner and we saw that a few times today as well a potential crash here or there.

But first of all, I do want to talk about echelon's.
