It would be a severe dissappointment if the Arenberg forest is left out of the Hell of the North this year. But for God sake, did anyone see the beating the riders took on that section in 2004? They were all but thrown from the bike. 30mph forward momentum was instantly turned into survival to stay upright ... amazing! Add to that the fact that two support motercycles went down in that stretch and I think they had to do something.
