'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."
