Let's hope it's not a howling headwind.
If it's windy up there today, the tunnel could be like real wind-tunnel – it's 1300 m long.
(And normally barred to cyclists, although I believe in Summer, when there is little car traffic, the ski resort being closed, cyclists do ride it – there is no alternative route over the 30 km long ridge).
no other road and the tunnel is only a decade or so old, before it was all twisty old roads.
Tbh, the main roads out tgere are only 20 odd years old, before it was bendy bendy slow with no road barriers.The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

There is a break with 30 odd seconds but UAE just won't let it lie. Still attacking.0

Haha more attacks from the peloton, still not being allowed to stay away!0

Finally we have gaps up - 1 minute 13 to the front of the race from the jersey group, but there's at least one rider (Visconti) in the gap.
FDJ are controlling the front of the peloton now.0 -
FDJ trying for a slow release of the breakaway.
