Every year, the cobblestone roads used in Paris-Roubaix must be unearthed from t𓂃he mud, grass and weeds that envelop them over the winter. This year, the race organisers hired a new crew to do the hard labor for peanuts: goats.

Not GOATs like Marianne Vos or Eddy Merckx.

Specifically, a herd of goats and sheep who performed the duties in a much more eco-friendly way than humans with gas-powered trimmers. The animals chewed their way across the 2,300 metres of pavé and revealing the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Trouée d' Arenberg sector.

The ungulates are a part of an eco-grazing project called 'Les Biquettes de l'Espoir', which uses an endangered species of French domestic goats and threatened reg🍸ional Boulonnais sheep, no🐼rmally employed to remove invasive species like the Japanese knotweed.

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Women's Paris-Roubaix will take place on Saturday, April 8 and the men's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix on Sunday April 9.

The pavé must be cleared of debris, inspected and, if necessary, restored before the riders tackle them in the WorldTour events, with organisers rating the s🍷ectors after a final review of the course in the week before the races.
