Default Justin Davis reporting the following....

Justin Davis reporting that for the second week in a row, a World Cup
event is taken by a 'relatively unknown' rider. First, it was the
little name ride Steffen Wesemann (T-Mobile) with the BIG surprise win
last week at the Tour of Flanders. This just in, the unheard of Magnus
Backsled (unknown team) wins the 102nd running of Paris-Roubaix, the
Queen of the Classics.
The GREAT Baden Cooke, whom Justin has had his eye on for some
time, was unable to take the start on the Easter Day Classic, citing a
rug burn boo-boo on his knee's. Justin, reporting from Baden's bed,
said, "I've never heard of Magnus. Is this guy Aussie?"

You are right. Not many people know mr Backsled, I for one sure don't.
However Magnus Bäckstedt is definitely not unknown and neither is the team
Alessio-Bianchi I believe. Oh yes he was on the podium only a few days ago I
beleive with only Boonen a little higher up
That he would win a great race like this however is absolutely awesome. For
once I was shouting louder than the TV commentators

Grattis Magnus
I think the Peloton calls him Maggie but he's over 190 cm so don't say it
with a smirk
