This is because almost the entire race is on COBBLESTONES Unfortunately, only the last portion of the race is on cobbles; the first hundred kilometeres or so is paved. This is unfortunate because it means everyone has to use fairly normal road bikes to keep up, then suffer with them when the pile-ups start. There's usually a traffic jam to get onto the cobbles first; I guess they just can't wait :-) -- Chris Moll (510)486-7891 --- A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with. -- Tenessee Williams
