Swede Wins Paris-Roubaix!!!
Paris-Roubaix, the World's Greatest One Day Bike Race, the World's
Greatest Classic on par or perhaps even better, if that is possible, than the Swedish Vasaloppet in skiing, also know as the "Hell of the North", was won by the great Swede, Magnus Backstedt! Yes, that might have been the longest sentence I've ever written. Some might say it should have been several sentences... Anyway, this is the greatest Victory by a Scandinavian in the history of bicycle racing. In the process of his win, he beat legends like Johan Museeuw and Peter Van Petegem. He also beat many other excellent racers like George Hincapie of the U.S. Postal team. Backstedt is built for the one day classics. He has a lot of power and good sprinting speed. Go Sverge!!! Hey Jane and Thomas, does he ski? Jay Tegeder "On the podium if the right people don't show up!" JT |

Backstedt rode a great race and pulled out a great win. Peter Van
Petegem proved to be a *very* class act with his finish with Museeuw, who flatted a couple of Ks from the finish and still finished strong. Hincaipie, had yet another top 10. And no rain. A good day on the Pave.

Hey Jane and Thomas, does he ski? Hopefully it won't sound as stupid excuse but Museeuw and Van Petegem had really bad luck. I was hoping Museeuw would win since it was his second last race race. Museeuw got punctured about 4 or 5km before finish and Van Petegem got punctered around 15km before finish, so they didn't have chance. If Museeuw would make it till finish with that group they wouldn't have slightest chances against him. Sprint was more joke then some tactical sprinting and Backstedt had more power then anyone else. But as I said Museeuw with his experiences would make fun out of all 4 others Considering Van Petegem wouldn't be there But that's sport. You have good luck sometimes and back luck other times. -- Primoz Support - IP/VoIP Connectivity & Routing ------------------------------------------------------------------- Primoz Jeroncic tel: +386 1 562 31 40 | Borovec 2 fax: +386 1 562 18 55 | 1 + 1 = 3 1236 Trzin | for larger values of 1 Slovenija http://flea.softnet.si/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Hey Jane and Thomas, does he ski? Not at any recognisable level - he has lived in Luxemburg for a number of years. However, his teammate Marcus Ljungqvist said he would seriously consider a XC career if he didn't get a pro cycling contract for this season. /Tomas -- Caps and foobar are normally not parts of my address. |
