These cobbles are used in the classic Paris-Roubaix where there are 50km of cobbled sections, the ASO who organise that race (and the Tour de France), give each sector of cobbles a rating depending on length, surface etc.
5 stars is for the most difficult sectors (Trouée d'arenberg)
1 star is for the least difficult sector (Roubaix)

I think so, but the difficult part today could be controlling the race... I don´t think Sprinters teams will help with that, and it could be to o much work for Saxo, thinking in helping Andy in such a long tour.
Yes the stars means difficulty.
Thanks for the answers, pesci!
Edit: You too, doddy.

Only a broken wrist .
He will start tomorrow, but i don´t think he will finish the race

Well, Farrar will have big problems on the cobbles today. I am wondering how many riders will abandon today because of their injuries yesterday. Cobbles will make the pain much worse. |

Well, according to the info I had yesterday, he only had some contusions. It seems that was wrong. |

Niki Terpstra had to abandon today. He had high fever, so the docs told him to give up. |

No he didn't. He started the stage and he'll see how it goes.
La Gazetta fucked up their translation (as usual)

subjective news: Taaramäe was not happy about team decision to but him on the breakaway yesterday.
He lost over 8 min to Chavanel..
nothing was not wrong..he did not even crashed ..he was just empty |

Bob Roll, Versus' stupid studio guy who makes Ligget and Sherwen look like disinterested geniuses, just said that Chavanel isn't a very good rider and isn't "a specialist on the cobbles."
Shoot me.
EDIT: and in the studio "pick the winner game" the first three riders were Cancellara, Hushovd, and Flecha. And out of every other rider in the pack (including Breschel, Maaskant, etc, etc), Sherwen took Lance.
Yes, Lance.
For a Paris-Roubaix stage.
Garrote me.

Im curious as to how Cancellara will approach it. While in theory he could ride it like Paris Roubaix and win the stage, it would seem more likely that he would be with the Schlecks throughout - be that in the front group, or not.
