	Professional Cycling Palmarès Site \| Races: Paris - Roubaix
		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.
		Drastic measures were called for; in 1966 the start was moved to Chantilly, 50km nearer Roubaix, which allowed a more circuitous route to the finish, maximising the usage of those cobbles which remained.
		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.

	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 Arenberg area was formerly a coal mining region, and the abandoned mines had caused many sections of the road to subside.

		The three-time Roubaix winner forced the pace and got a small gap with Bäckstedt in pursuit of Kirsipuu, but this was not the move to win the race.
		For Johan Museeuw, who finished his last Roubaix (and penultimate race as a professional), the agony of a race-ending puncture could perhaps be smoothed over by the knowledge that at the end of his storied career he remained just as much a threat in the toughest one day race as he did at his peak.
		Entering the velodrome in the company of last year's winner Van Petegem, Museeuw was greeted with a roaring ovation, and as he crossed the line arm in arm with his friend and rival, Museeuw let everyone know that he would go out as he wanted, as the classics rider of his generation.

		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.

	Notes from the road: Health vs. donuts; Georgia vs. Otter; Roubaix vs. Masters; and The Donald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		I watched only one hour over its four days - the hour right after Roubaix, which also happened to be the final hour of the tournament.
		Sure, the Masters had the benefit of a commercial-free broadcast, but still, the drama and tension over that one hour leading up to the final hole was a sad reminder of what the Roubaix coverage could have been.
		While the Masters had the drama, and Roubaix was watchable at best, last night saw an amazing example of a program going from compelling to practically unwatchable in a matter of seconds.

		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).
		Hincapie, who was obviously happy enough with the system in testing to use it in battle, commented, "I don't notice it on the road but it glides on the cobbles." Leif Hoste said, "It's really good.
		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.
