Tour de France: the Inside Story

The Race:

The 2010 Paris-Roubaix was 259 kilometers long and raced at an average speed of 39.325 km/hr.

The race started in Compeigne and finished on the Roubaix velodrome. There were 27 sectors of cobbles totaling 52.9 km.

193 riders started with 74 classified finishers.

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.
