There's a great movie called "A Sunday in Hell" that's about the Paris-Roubaix race which is held every spring. It goes over a number of cobbled stretches, and may be what you're think of.

Well they are racing... And one jersey is yet to be decided.

13:36 - Green Jersey Winner Yet To Be Decided...

The winners of three of the four prize jersey have already been determined. Lance Armstrong will win the yellow jersey as champion of the general classification.
Mickael Rasmussen will win the polka-dot jersey as the 92nd Tour’s King of the Mountains.
Yaroslav Popovych will win the white jersey as the best young rider in the 2005 Tour...
But the green jersey must still be won. Thor Hushovd leads the points classification with 175pts, 15 more than Stuart O’Grady and 21 more than last year’s winner Robbie McEwen.
There are two intermediate sprints (each offering 6, 4 and 2pts) and the final sprint has 35pts for the first rider across the line.

GO THOR!!!
