Stage 3 - Wanze to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut - 207km


The comment of Christian Prudhomme

This is unquestionably one of the highlights of the first week of the race, and a major first for this stage start and finish. Cobblestones haven’t been negotiated on the Tour since 2004. There will be 7 cobbled sectors over a total of 13,2 kilometres, including the Haveluy sector, only ten kilometres from the stage finish. The finish line will be located at the entrance to the notorious Arenberg Trench, the legendary backdrop to Paris-Roubaix.

  2. Hi Quentin, I was wondering .... do you feel like the hare that is at a greyhound race, full of adrenalin with the Greyhounds (peloton) ready to be unleashed on the Tour. (You know the hare always wins). Have the Tour given you your yellow jersey yet?, considering that you are the Tour leader. Keep turning those tyres I have been following each day.
