Oh so close: Boonen takes Roubaix ahead of Hincapie With baby daughter Julia Paris cradled in his arms, a physically and emotionally drained George Hincapie finally stood on the Paris-Roubaix podium he's doggedly pursued for so many years. With the victory, Boonen becomes the 51st Belgian to win Paris-Roubaix and the ninth to accomplish the Flanders-Roubaix double in the same year, the first since Peter Van Petegem did it in 2003. Charging into the Roubaix velodrome, Hincapie was at the front of the trio, not a strong position with a lap-and-a-half to go. www.velonews.com /race/int/articles/7816.0.html   (2215 words)

www.cyclingnews.com presents the 102nd Paris-Roubaix This year, as the 102nd edition of Paris-Roubaix, often called the Queen of the Classics draws nigh, Paris-Roubaix is wide open affair with no clear favourite. Wesemann's runner-up spot to Museeuw at the 2002 Paris-Roubaix (with a broken pedal cleat) shows the former East German from Leipzig has what it takes to win in Roubaix and his T-Mobile team has the horsepower with Rolf Aldag Ivanov, Klier and Schaffrath to back him up. Already on the podium at Roubaix in 2002, Tom Terrific may be ready to inherit Museeuw's mantle this weekend. www.cyclingnews.com /road/2004/worldcup04/roubaix04   (1022 words)

Backstedt a big surprise at Paris-Roubaix Magnus Backstedt (Alessio) was as surprised as anyone after realizing a childhood dream by winning the 102nd edition of Paris-Roubaix in a sprint finish on Sunday. Belgium's powerhouse teams, Quick Step and Lotto-Domo, each rode superb races, putting several riders into the decisive breakaway that split coming through the Arenberg Forest, but ill-timed flats took out last year's winner, Peter Van Petegem (Lotto-Domo), and retiring superstar Johan Museeuw (Quick Step), racing in his last Paris-Roubaix. Alessio's Magnus Backstedt triumphs on the Roubaix velodrome www.velonews.com /race/int/articles/5863.0.html   (454 words)

www.cyclingnews.com presents the 103rd Paris-Roubaix There were some questions whether the SPA prototypes would pass the UCI technical inspection before Roubaix, but Discovery team management and the race officials reached an agreement on the bikes and Hincapie rode the Trek SPA prototype to a superb second place podium finish in the 103rd edition of Paris-Roubaix. When George Hincapie was pounding the pave' in Sunday's Paris-Roubaix, the lanky American had a little help from his bike sponsors Trek to get to the Roubaix velodrome. Sure, it was mostly Hincapie's legs that got him there, but he may have been fresher because his Trek prototype bike was using some new suspension technology from the Wisconsin outfit called SPA (Suspension Performance Advantage). www.cyclingnews.com /road/2005/apr05/roubaix05/tech/?id=/tech/2005/features/hincapie_bike   (650 words)

Professional Cycling Palmarès Site Races: Paris - Roubaix The new route did nothing to upset "Mr Paris Roubaix" himself, Roger De Vlaeminck: after achieving his fourth victory in six years, even Merckx was forced to admit, "I have never seen that before. Yet Paris- Roubaix remains the classic above all others, exerting an almost talismanic grip on its devotees. The winner was often alone on the Roubaix velodrome; else he would be the one with most to spare as a small group settled into the last kilometre on the track, a finish further complicating the equation. homepage.ntlworld.com /veloarchive/races/parisroubaix.htm   (694 words)

Paris-Roubaix - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography Famous for rough terrain, the route of Paris-Roubaix is adjusted slightly from year to year as the older roads are resurfaced and the race organisers seek to replace them with other challenging cobbles, to maintain the character of the race - in 2005, for example, the race included 54.7km of cobbled sections. The race culminates with 1km on the Roubaix velodrome. The 260km race starts in Compiègne and follows a winding route northwards towards Roubaix, hitting the first cobbled sections after about 100km. www.arikah.com /encyclopedia/Paris-Roubaix   (733 words)

Swap Blog » Paris-Roubaix It is Paris to Roubaix (a Northern French industrial city), and it has it all, but most of all it has a legacy. This race is called “The Hell Of The North” due to the bad weather that normally occurs, and the bone jarring (and braking) cobbles (Pave’) that cover many of the farm roads that rider’s race along. This Sunday the greatest annual one day cycling race on earth occurs. www.team-swap.com /wordpress/2005/04/08/paris-roubaix   (411 words)

Professional Cycling Palmarès Site Races: Bordeaux - Paris The race prospered and, long after other events like Paris - Roubaix had become simple road races, "the Derby" stuck to its formula of being paced, a throwback to the early days of the sport. But the final few miles through the Chevreuse valley (a finish shared with the GP de l'Automne when it was raced as Tours - Paris) were a killing ground for tired legs. As if 600 kilometres wasn't insane enough, in 1920 a single stage race was run from Bordeaux - Paris - Bordeaux: 1200km in one single ride. homepage.ntlworld.com /veloarchive/races/bordeauxparis.htm   (691 words)

Randonneurs USA For example, already twice victorious in Paris-Roubaix, the winner in the 1901 PBP race was Maurice Garin, who would then go on to win the inaugural Tour de France in 1903. Interestingly, the three PBP randonnées of 1948, 1951, and 1956 saw men's tandem teams outrun the solo bike riders and arrive back in Paris first. PBP also caught the attention of bicycle and tire manufacturers wanting to show the cycling-crazy public that their products were superior to other brands. www.rusa.org /pbphistory.html   (3585 words)

Tour de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Since 1975, the final stage always finishes on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, which, being cobbled, is an unpleasant surface to cycle on, though not as much as the famous Paris-Roubaix. The Tour was founded as a publicity event for the newspaper L'Auto (ancestor of the present l'Équipe) by its editor and co-founder, Henri Desgrange, to rival the Paris-Brest et retour ride (sponsored by Le Petit Journal), and Bordeaux-Paris. The traditional finish is in Paris on the Champs-Élysées. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tour_de_France   (6210 words)

Museeuw is the most recent shining example of why Paris-Roubaix holds such reverence among the peloton; something U.S. National Champion and Domo teammate Fred Rodriquez can attest to. Old warhorse Gianluca Bortolami (Tacconi Sport) won the Tour of Flanders last week; the 1994 World Cup winner and 1996 Paris-Roubaix runner-up was ecstatic to score such a big win at this point in his career. www.active.com /story.cfm?story_id=6631   (892 words)

Roadcycling.com - News - US Postal team report In what director sportif Johan Bruyneel called the team's best effort since last year's Tour de France, the United States Postal Service Pro Cycling Team went toe-to-toe with powerhouse Mapei at yesterday's Paris-Roubaix, the third round of the World Cup. However, Mapei was able to win Paris-Roubaix for the third straight year and for the fifth time since 1995, a streak that includes three 1-2-3 sweeps (1996, 1998, 1999). In the end, the USPS could not prevent Mapei from winning its fifth Paris-Roubaix in the last six years, but the team left everything it had on the cobblestones leading to the Roubaix velodrome. www.roadcycling.com /news/04122000.shtml   (892 words)
