Galdeano: "It's gonna be madness"

Igor González de Galdeano spent yesterday checking out the cobbled sections of the Tour's fourth stage this year with Samu, Egoi and JJ. After seing the course, Igor wasn't particularly optimistic. "It's gonna me madness", he said. "You'll be riding on a big highway and then suddenly on a three times narrower one. And as always the wind will be strong. I've never done Paris-Roubaix, but I did the 2004 Tour (the last time the race took on the French cobbles). The important thing is the positioning, to be able to start and finish the cobbled parts in the same place in the pack. The first three sections are in Belgium, but the hard ones come in France. You have to be lucky, or at least not be unlucky. It'll be decisive. You wont win the race there, but you can loose it."
