    An interesting new format, with the multiple loops, just such a damned shame about Cancellara

    Sadly we lost a possible podium place, as Roger Hammond's retired now:thunbdown:

    Paris Roubaix 2012

    Tom Boonen achieves immortality in winning his 4th victory-no rider has won more- in one of the greatest ever break away rides (50 k) in a race which dates back to 1896.

    Magnificent!

    Winning four Paris Roubaix is, as you point out Graham, an unsurpassed feat, but achieving immortality is something entirely different. Chapeau Tom Boonen :closed:
