The Grip Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Still some rain forecasted?Doesn't look like it. Expecting sunny skies, light breezes and temps in the high 50s Fahrenheit.

jcza Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Jacques_Goddet.png EDIT: Faced with the loss of cobbles and his race becoming a dreary parade in 1967 race organiser Jacques Goddet instructed his No.2 Albert Bouvet to find more cobbles: “go north and take your pilgrim’s staff“. The recently retired rider Jean Stablinksi who showed Bouvet some new cobbled tracks including the infamous Arenberg Forest. “Stab” later felt guilty about telling the race organisers about this stretch of pavé because of the suffering it would impose on the riders. Even the race organisers were concerned it would be too hard. It could be a myth but apparently Bouvet asked aloud “And what if nobody makes it to the finish?” a few days before the race. “So long as there is one rider” replied the stoic Goddet. Here we see the race going backwards, finding old tracks in deliberate opposition to the trend of upgraded roads. Edited April 10, 2014 by jcza
