Eurosport - Cycling - Cycling Eurosport Live Tour De France Giro Vuelta, Armstrong UCI ProTour - UCI Protour: "'We have decided not to ride on the 2,400 metres of the famous Arenberg trench for safety reasons,' organisers said in a statement. 'The condition of the road has seriously deteriorated in recent years and a 200 metre section has collapsed and turned into a pool.'

The Arenberg trench is one of the most spectacular cobbled sections in a race dubbed the 'Hell of the North' and many riders have crashed trying to navigate it.

Six times Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong has yet to win the Paris-Roubaix and it could be one of his main goals in 2005.

Paris-Roubaix is scheduled for April 10."
