The mythical cobblestone sector of Wallers-Arenberg could again be omitted of the Paris-Roubaix race route
At the announcement of the Challenge Paris-Roubaix

"We're not going to ride the Arenberg forest because the pros won't be passing over this sector
either," Lainé told Belgian Het Nieuwsblad
Race director Jean-François Pescheux neither denied nor confirmed this
"We're able to do without Arenberg," he told La voix des Sports
"It would not have consequences on the competition
We can include other pavé sectors and skip Arenberg
But nothing will be decided before December 15."
is a key cobblestone sector in the 'Hell of the North'
Coming with 90 kilometres to go before the Roubaix velodrome
it has been included in the race since 1968
It was omitted only three times since then: in 1976
Arenberg had been replaced by the Chemin des Postes between Aulnoy-lez-Valenciennes and Famars (2.6kms long)
and this is exactly what Pescheux could have in mind once again
"I've always said that the Paris-Roubaix route doesn't have to be set in stone
that we will do race editions without Wallers-Arenberg and maybe even with the Chemin des Postes
What we do have planned for 2011 is to take one or two sectors away after Vertain
in order to cut down kilometres and arrive more quickly in Aulnoy."
