and we have late breaking news instead of a straight run into the feared arberg Forest Just 4 days out the organizers added a couple of turns to hopefully slow down the pace the sector over the abandoned coal mine has put an end to many riders hopes and dreams notably in 1998 when yoham Museo crashed and broke his kneecap most Riders are happy with the decision but it could cause even more crashes with the turn Matthew Vanderpool tweeted in response is this a joke

So many injuries lately. I can see why they did this. Heres to a fast recovery of WVA, JV, and the rest who took big spills these last few days. 🙏
They have to win hard not that easy… just an opinion.
I guess the next step will be to remove the section altogether. You know, because it's not safe. Hey, better yet.Let's just stop racing bicycles, Someone might get hurt.
Is that a pun ?
It is well intentioned, but I think it will be a disaster…just moving the pinch point. For over a 100 years the entrance has remained the same. I think it should continue as it was.
This is what split the peloton into small groups. Front group flew ahead to this pinch point for that reason. Fastest ever Roubaix so don’t see the problem.
