It's one of the most prestigious races on the calendar, characterised by many sectors of rough cobblestones, or pavé, at blisteringly fast speeds.
We check out the route, the favourites, as well as the tech side of things, as team mechanics make necessary adaptations to the bikes to endure the stress of the pavé.

But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
