The most interesting comment for me was:
�Lots of guys just race the cobbles, but the mindset for me was �cobbles, recover� ..."

I would have never guess that optimal place for recovery at P-R would be on the cobbles.

Good article. Lots of interesting insights there.

Was surprised, tho, to see that Hammond is not with Sky this year, but is a manager of some other team. Didn't realize he's not racing anymore.

I'm going to be rooting for Wiggins at P-R. I'd at least like to see him get through without mechanicals or crashes to see what he's capable of. 'Course I think that's what most riders dream of - just get me through the uncontrollable things like flats or crashes so I can see how good I really am...
