Olympic time-trial
champion Oakley's Fabian Cancellara,
wearing his hand-painted Radars, powered to his second one-day
classic victory in a week, winning Paris-Roubaix on Sunday. The
Swiss rider's second victory in the grueling 259 km race, known as
the "Hell of the North" due to its 27 sectors of
bone-shaking cobblestones, means he also becomes only the 10th
rider to achieve a rare classics double.
"Boonen, Flecha,
Hushovd... I think they knew straight away they were racing for
second place, and that allowed me to race my own race," said
Cancellara.
