Count... I just read the Koppenberg is out this year. Some thieves stole a bunch of the cobbles. Apparently, someone in America paid thieves to steal a bunch of the cobbles so that he could add them to his driveway... clever. I find it strange that he felt that was the best way to honor the race, a week before it starts.
