The Race: What an athlete! Fabian Cancellara won today's Paris-Roubaix and did both the 2010 Flanders-Roubaix double and also won his second Paris-Roubaix (he won in 2006 as well).
Cancellara left a select group 210 kilometers into the race, at the 3-kilometer long Mons-en-Pévèle cobbled sector. Boonen was at the back of the small group when Cancellara attacked, but I can't see how it would have mattered. Before easing up Cancellara had hammered out a 3-minute lead. The Swiss champion is having a period of grace that few sportsmen ever get to enjoy. Chapeau.
