This stage started very close to where I grew up in Henley so I knew the early stages of the route very well. The stretch of road they made the peloton cruise down between West Beach and Glenelg is notorious for smelling like shit. Literally, as there is a wastewater treatment facility there.

It should be seen as a gesture for riders from Brittany to remind them of their region (there are thousands of pig farms in that area, concentrating more than half of all pigs in France, it is terrible). 😀
