Jem was in contact with Kenilworth,, Warwickshireand said:
Anyone who appreciates this year only for the fact that he is free from the unbearable constraint to wait until CAV gets this 35th earn?
I don’t mind who wins the sprints and I no longer have to worry so that it is transporting an ALP within the deadlines.
It’s Pogi for me from me – but it’s TDF time that is always exciting for me.
It’s a good Jem point. Also, if someone followed Mark CavendishThe publications and videos of the tour on social networks so far, you will have seen how the Manx missile has time of life from the key line.

We note, Rouler’s Stephen Pudding wrote on the Paris-Roubaix landscape that today’s scene will be – and will not – approach:
This landscape will be recognizable by bicycle fans as a country of Paris -Roubaix – the Arenberg forest, one of the most famous sites in this breed, is located just 10 kilometers from Valenciennes. However, the organizers have chosen not to include any of the famous paved sectors of this breed; At the great disappointment of fans who would have enjoyed the rare and exciting spectacle of the paved race during a big tour, but to the relief of many candidates in the GC and their staff, aware of the way in which only one piece of bad luck on such a chaotic scene, whether it is a puncture crash, can see their dreams of an end of GC for an end of GC, even early in the race.
Instead, he writes, the peloton will cover Dunkirque – The northern point of this year’s tour.
Speaking of Paris-Roubaix, I can strongly recommend going to look on the side of the road. It is absolutely exciting and has a great atmosphere. In addition, it is worth seeing some of these cobblestones closely.
A briefing of stage three, via Thierry Gouvenou, former professional cyclist, Director of the race and architect of Tour de France Runway:
Third stage of the Tour de France, Valenciennes in Dunkirk, [is] Certainly the most flattering step, but perhaps not the least difficult.
We will pass through places like Orchies, Mons-en-Pévèle and the roads of Paris-Roubaix without the cobblestones. And then quickly, we will head towards the plain of Flanders. We will have the rise of Cassel, which will be the highest point on the scene. But just after Cassel on the Dunkirk path, we are in very flat but also very windy areas and we can expect on ladder.
Everything will depend on the wind, but it will always be a moment of caution for the leaders of the Tour de France, and for the sprinters, it will always be an opportunity to win another stage.

Preamble
Welcome to The Guardian Tour de France 2025 Live blog! Join me for the cover of the third stage – the most flattering of the whole race this year. THE 178.3 km move Valenciennes has Dunkirque fair features A category four climb And 800m of altitude gain. The deployment is expected at 1:10 pm CEST (12:10 pm BST) and the finish must be around 5:18 p.m. CEST (4:18 pm BST) – although often the peloton is faster than the expected speeds.
Does this mean that it will be boring? Hopefully not. I think it will be fast and maybe, furious. The contenders for GC will be linked to stay in difficulty, while the sprinters will have their eyes on a victory on stage. There is also a prediction of winding conditions, which could cause a little tension in the peloton.
So who could go to victory today? TIM MERLIER (Quick step) is a firm favorite with experts, but it will be worth keeping an eye on Ineos grenadiers‘ Sam Watson With him having triumphed during the four days of the Dunkirk stage race in May. Other sprinters who seek to challenge a sprint finish? Obviously, there is the winner of the first step, Jasper Philipsen (Alpine-deceuninck), as well as Jonathan Milan (Lidl-trak),, Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-Simple),, Jordi Meeus (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) And Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty). Although the latter can feel sore after an accident on the stage of yesterday. I would like to hear your predictions, so please send me your thoughts by e-mail.
