Google Street View

Street View is awesome. You can check out the last pave sectors of Paris-Roubaix with it. Go to Camphin-en-Pevele, go to the westside of the town, Rue de Cysoing. A little road turns right off the Cysoing makes some left-right twists and heads towards the D90. The first left bend after leaving the Rue de Cysoing is where Flecha crashed last year. Follow that nice little cobbled road and you get to the left turn southwards toward L'Arbre. This is where Hushovd crashed. Go down south a while and you get past the legendary L'Arbre. Make a right turn onto the D90, clearly visible there: BoonenBoonenBoonen written on the road. Turn left shortly after that into Chemin de Bourghelles / Chemin de l'Arbre and you are on the sector Gruson, the last big pave sector. After the pave, enter Gruson, head north for Chereng. North of Chereng in the Rue de Willems you will find the most famous railroad crossing of the cycling world. Keep heading north towards Robigeux and take the Rue d'Hem / Route de Hem for sector Hem, famous Museeuw/van Petegem puncture there in the year Backstedt won. That's the last interesting thing to look at, from now it's just big roads until the velodrome, which unfortunately can't be entered with Google Streetview. Arenberg and Mons-en-Pevele are also not included.
