A BRAND NEW UPHILL COBBLED SECTION


Yesterday, during the presentation of the A.S.O. cycling season for 2005, the organisers announced a new modification concerning the course of the 103rd edition of Paris-Roubaix (10th of April). Bad conditions in the past few years making the crossing of the Wallers-Arenberg forest dangerous forced the race direction to, first of all, use a new itinerary including the Avesnes-le-Sec cobbled section. However the Préfecture has advised to change the plans due to works on this zone.

Therefore, the course has again been changed: the peloton will indeed be directed towards the south of Valenciennes, where four new cobble-stone sections will be covered in Vertain, Aulnoy-lez-Valenciennes, Famars and Préseau.

Added to that, for the first time in the history of Paris-Roubaix, the riders will have to go through a cobbled section of 1700m, including 1100m going uphill. This brand new section, situated in the Hameau du Buat, was discovered and recommended to Sporting Director Jean-François Pescheux by former World champion Jean Stablinski. With this change of course, the cobbled sections will increase from 51km in 2004 to 54,7km.
