Bar tape makes no difference whatsoever IMO. The wrists and forearms will hurt no matter what. We all got pretty nasty headaches going over the cobbles last time, take some tablets beforehand. The tip 're tape on the bottles is bang on. Bottles will be flying everywhere, the first 2 sectors are usually littered with them.
Watch out for MTBikers cutting you up as well, because they can..
I shall be running 27 open pave around 80psi. Same as before. A few of the lighter riders in our club will be running around 65psi.
