After drama in stage 2, drama in stage 3. It could only be Le Tour!

Fun Facts: Wanze is actually very close to Huy, think Fleche, the town also holds a market for cycling fans with memorabilia.
Arenberg, well it needs no introduction does it really?
Now, for those stones, if this were Paris-Roubaix the french sectors of cobbles would be the following ratings:
(Sector 4)Sars et Rosieres-->Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes - ***
(Sector 5)Warlaing - ***
(Sector 6)Hornaing - ***
(Sector 7)Haveluy - ****

Ooo quicker than yesterday!
All I can say is I hope they ride tommorow and do't do this protesting sh*t.

Depends how the race progress I reckon. If it is all together with 10km or so then he will probably go for the win.

Jean-Francois Pescheux said on France 2 that Cancellara asked to rescind sprint points because of all the injured sprinters. It wouldn`t be a fair sprint.
I guess it wasn`t Cancellara alone who made this decision, but on the other hand, they could annul almost every stage.
Yesterday Cav, Ciolek, Farrar and Freire crashed or blocked, so it wasn`t a fair one in their opinion. So it wasn`t a protest today.

Don't think the cobble specialists will dominate the stage results as much as you.

Reading rider's tweets, it seems that this stage is one where they expect the type of crashes seen on today's stage, so unlikely to be neutralised.
And given Armstrong is very good compared to the other GC contenders on cobbles, I don't see him slowing down if Schleck or Contador are in trouble. Quite the opposite...

On the other hand, when have we seen the other GC riders on cobblestones? And if we haven't, how can we know that Armstrong is better?
We'll see  |

He has ridden RvV before, he rode it this year and was in the first big group at the finish. |

That wasn`t the point. Nobody else than him did, so we don`t know if they are unable or worse than him.
That he is not bad we know, but maybe Contador or otherfavoutires are even better, but they never ride RvV so we don`t know.

Meanwhile Contador has trained on the Pave with Van Petegem.
-Schlecks have Cancellara to help
-Wiggins has Flecha
etc etc.
What will be most interesting i think is positioning. There's going to be a big fight to be first onto the cobbles.
