I have been trying to follow bike racing and it is very confusing, but this guy sounds pretty good:
ROUBAIX, France (AFP) – Swiss Olympic time-trial champion Fabian Cancellara won the Paris-Roubaix one day classic cycling race on Sunday to complete a rare double of the Tour of Flanders and the Paris-Roubaix in the same season.
The 29-year-old – also the world time-trial champion and winning this event for the second time – is only the 10th rider to achieve the double and first since Belgian Tom Boonen in 2005.
The weird thing with bike racing is that it really is a team sport, at least when you get to races like the Tour De France, and it is hard to understand how that happens; for the really big races the team is just as important as the stars on it, but the stars, guys like Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contodor are the only one who gets recognition when they win.
This years tour De France is shaping up like an epic battle between Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contodor when it should perhaps be considered a battle between Astana and Radio Shack.
