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 sometime, 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?" |

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 ![]() -- Perre You have to be smarter than a robot to reply. |
