Not to extreme cobbles section, compared to those other (terrible) 5-***** section at Paris Roubaix. But in Holland this section would be hard as well

I had exchanged my interior with latex interior with an air pressure of 5.5 and my handlebar was equipped with double handlebar tape, it is important to keep your handlebars as loose as possible while driving on the cobblestones. Put the chain on the big blade and keep the tension on the chain, the harder over it the less you feel the cobbles, a great experience 50 km of cobbles.
