I love the cobblestones


I disagree... I entirely disagree
there should be more cobbles in le tour
not just for the viewer.... for the race and for the racers
the cobble stone sections are a feature no different than a mountain climb.... a winding descent.... THE WEATHER... and a nice set up for a sprint

was their a protest about the weather?

I loved today's race
it is like grass versus astroturf
it is nice to see people on natural surfaces
even if the cobbles are man made
they are still organic and real
riding on them is a skill just like climbing or sprinting are skills

the race changes each year
I like the years that they reflect the classics and dip through the cobble stone roads
