Glorious sunshine for most of the stage, clouding over in the afternoon.
Temperatures rose quickly to the low 20's with no wind making perfect riding conditions.
A fairly easy short stage with one major climb at 62 miles.
A second puncture for me but we carry spare inner tubes so I was soon on my way again.
All riders completed the stage in good time.
