Gentlebear - thanks for the updates.
I had meant to watch, but got back too late. Nearly finished the PTP season on a high with GVA.0 -
Sprinters teams can't control. Seems qute a BR split between sprinters and rouleurs for this one0

I thought that was a decent race, it's a shame that we've got a situation where a classic can't attract the best riders but I suppose some call that progress.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

From Wiki
The wind can often be hostile; in 1988 Peter Pieters averaged just 34kmh, slowest for 57 years. However,Paris–Tours becomes the fastest classic when the wind is behind the riders, Óscar Freire winning in 2010 at 47.730kmh. It gave him the Ruban Jaune or "Yellow Riband" for the fastest speed in a classic, in fact the Ruban Jaune has been awarded seven times to riders winning Paris–Tours and posting the fastest time in a professional race.0
