Stage 3 will feature seven sections of pavé (4 of them over 2 km long) totaling 13 km in the final 30 km of the stage normally reserved for the cobbled classic, Paris-Roubaix. As most people know by now, the hopes of several GC contenders were dashed on the cobbles during a similar stage back in 2004. To help avoid an Iban Mayo like catastrophe, Alberto Contador spent time this spring with Belgian Peter Van Petegem to help him hone his technique on riding over "the stones."
