With 9 sectors of Paris-Roubaix cobbles, Stage 5 of the 2014 Tour de France could see some overall favourites fall by the wayside.

It's a short, pan-flat stage but the cobbles mean that no-one will be able to take it easy.

We expect the riders to break out special bikes, and fight for the front. The race won't be won today, but it may well be lost.
