Météo France is predicting Sunday's weather conditions in the northern part of the country to be cold and wet. The riders will probably start in just two degree temperatures in Compiègne, which will reach a maximum of nine in Roubaix in the early afternoon. A moderate northwest wind will blow across the riders for most of the day, and intermittent rain showers are predicted. Thus, the cobbles are likely to be very slippery and muddy.
