Ouch. The thought of sitting on a saddle for 3 weeks after that is eye-watering

It looks as if the next heatwave is set to coincide with the race returning to France.
Barcelona, on the other hand, should be a relatively temperate 30C.

BBC have down graded things a little bit but currently they give Pau as 34C Monday, 35C Tuesday and 36C Wednesday.

He did OK at Suisse which was rather warm

Looking at the UAE team, they seem to have gone in with a few more rouleurs than normal. Only really del Toro and Adam Yates as pure climbers. I suspect that's with the TTT in mind.

It was forecast at 38C this morning. Hence downgraded.
36 will still trigger a red alert heat warning mind.
