I had the pleasure of taking out our new Endurance SLr Disc for the day which was an absolute dream to ride with a Dura-Ace Di2 drivetrain and Mavic Aksium wheels dressed with Continental 28mm tyres, which floated over the
cobbles.
She added: "We've had problems before where cars have been damaged by flying
cobbles."
And they say the
cobbles are in storage to be used elsewhere in the town at a later date.
Andy, who runs ASHtech home improvements, added: "They say the
cobbles are being kept in storage to reuse them later but I'm not getting a direct answer if they are going to be replaced back where they came from, in the road again, or used elsewhere.
The
cobbles made up only 21.7km of the day's route, but brought with them a constant fight for position and battle of nerves, such is the likelihood of crashes and mechanical problems.
Team Sky wingman Thomas, second on the leaderboard and just seven seconds off Belgium's Greg Van Avermaet in the Yellow Jersey, warned the 15 sections of
cobbles totalling 13.5 miles will make riders sore in places they never knew existed.
Va Va Froome didn't make it to the
cobbles in 2014, when he crashed out with a fractured wrist and broken thumb, and he expects major contenders in the general classification to fall by the wayside again.
I nearly broke my ankle on Corrie's street of

The riders were wary of the
cobbles, some of the sectors of which are used in the Paris-Roubaix one-day classic known as 'the Hell of the North'.
In order to refer to these in a more appropriate and relevant way it is proposed that these assemblages of stone tools are described using the generic and collective term '
cobble stone mining tools', a term which more accurately reflects their origin as waterworn
cobbles (or sometimes rounded weathered lumps of rock) selected for a range of interchangeable mining tool tasks.
Coronation Street's famous
cobbles may be preserved forever after an application to give the set listed status.
LAST autumn workmen in Dundee made a remarkable discovery: while carrying out road repairs, they unearthed 10,000 wooden setts that were once used to pave streets instead of stone
cobbles.
To reduce multicollinearity, we used a t-test for equality of means to evaluate independent samples (SPSS, 2008) and Pearson's correlation test to evaluate correlations between habitat variables and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to combine boulders,
cobbles, pebbles, small grains, forbs, grasses and shrubs into three components with eigenvalues [greater than or equal to] 1.0.
The
cobbles will be laid in a path as part of a major landscaping of Belmont Green.
