For those who do not understand French well, here in detail, after our first full pass, on the 6 stages around GAP, the current situation.
Shakedown: many frozen parts of km.1.5 to km.3.
ES 2-13: totally dry except for many frozen traps on all bridge crossings between km.13,5 and 21,5.
ES 3-6: 95% full snow and ice!
Snow hard icy up to km.3.
Very good snow and downhill trap until St Disdier.
Rails of melting snow and ice between St Disdier and Les Gillardes.
Snow hard frozen until Ambel
Final less and less icy becoming dry.
ES 4-7: 90% full snow and very bright ice!
Col de Festreaux snow and ice.
Descent on St Firmin wet and icy.
Dry valley after St Firmin.
Return snow and ice from Le Séchier.
Frozen areas on D316 to Chauffayer.
D23 and D123 dry.
D23A and crossing of St Eusete hyper-frozen!
Des Infournas until last bifurcation descending to Chaillol, full snow and ice with gravel. Good snow at the last Pass!
Final totally dry.
ES 5-8: 60% full snow and ice!
Departure and crossing of St Léger verglacés tending fondant soup.
Road becomes dry until Ancelle.
At the end of the stations, return of the hard and groomed snow with gravelly ice to the slopes at the top of the Col.
Summit of Moissiere pass almost dry because swept by the wind but all the descent forest is mega snow groomed or rails until the end of the wood.
Final sec.
ES 9-11: 30% snow and ice!
Dry to Vitrolles.
Iceflakes with melting tendencies in Barcillonnette.
Return of snow and ice from Esparron.
Climb and descent of the Col de l'Espreaux full snow and ice.
Identical situation for the Col des Verniers then final dry for the Col de la Bachassette.
ES 10-12: D148 and D48 dry except the winding part uphill, between Le Sarret and Savournon composed of melting snow rails.
Descent of the Col de Faye well icy with tendency to improve towards the final dry.
Specials of the Turini and Entrevaux totally dry except the final wet after Ubraye, which can lead to formations of frost plates in the evening.
In short, you know everything!
Good choice in your places ...

Purely based on weather observations, I would tell that its should be mostly dry with a little snow on the side of the road in some sections. Tomorrow it will be 3-4 plus degrees around there and during the stage it should be between -3..-4 degrees, maybe slight chanche of patchy black ice

Am I the only one who can't find shakedown times on ewrc-results.com all of a sudden?
I am aware that shakedown has not started yet but I was still expecting the section to be there.

Am I correct in thinking that exact Ogier photo is the one that Col Clarke has posted on twitter? if not, it's very similar!
