Comfy armchair to one person & a plank to the next
Breakaway seems to be 90% satellite riders.
Are you trolling the podcasters? As several have pointed out, satellites don't generally ever help when they fall back towards their planet (asteroid impact theory of mass extinction, anyone?), so it's completely the wrong term for the hoped-for tactic... even if most have indeed seemed to burn up on re-entry in practice!

Wind cross head
From racecenter
And that’s bad news for the women in the lead. Météo France says there are winds around 20 kph, with gusts up to 40 kph, blowing from the west. That means they are getting sidewinds right now that will turn into headwinds as soon as they start riding towards the west with 27 kilometres to go.
