I imagine a lot of riders will change their bike before the cobbled sections start.
They're not allowed to do roadside changes, they have to get a bike from the team car which would make it a bit slow.
They don't want Cancellara picking up his 'special' bike and freewheeling to victory then stashing it in the bushes just before the end!
