From DS Johnny Weltz

Mike Friedman, Tour des Flandres Tomorrow (Thursday) we will meet Maggy, Tyler and Martijn in Valencienne for the final tests on the cobbles. We have custom Felt Roubaix bikes (right: Meatball on his new Roubaix ride) and new wheels that all need a final test.

We will do the forest of Arenberg (check the Arenberg medley video) and some of the following cobble sections. We will have the Slipstream/Chipotle H3O team car that has been reinforced on the bottom and has stronger suspension in the back here also. So all will be tested.

Friday, all but those riders who are racing in Sarthe will arrive. Then, we will ride from where the cobbles start and head back to Compiegne to hang out until Sunday for the race start.
