Apart from some hollow threats about too much moss on the Forest of Arenberg secteur, no big changes were planned this year. The cobbles secteurs appear to be identical to 2011, the distance is either the same or a few hundred meters longer, depending on whether people are rounding out numbers. There isn't much to say beyond last year...
