It's one of the most prestigious races on the calendar, characterised by many sectors of rough cobblestones, or pavé, at blisteringly fast speeds.
We check out the route, the favourites, as well as the tech side of things, as team mechanics make necessary adaptations to the bikes to endure the stress of the pavé.
