Just heard about the ASO's innovative approach to clearing the cobbles for the Paris Roubaix event - they're using goats! đ They are part of an eco-grazing project called âLes Biquettes de lâEspoirâ. The project promotes endangered species of French domestic goats and threatened regional Boulonnais sheep. Typically, the animals are used to remove invasive species. However, now they were chewing on 2,300 meters of cobbled sectors. Photo Credit: ASO
