Today Fabian Cancellara dominated the 2010 Classics season by winning at Paris-Roubaix. Winning today put Cancellara in cycling history books. Many people win Paris-Roubaix but not many win the Tour of Flanders/Paris-Roubaix double. "I wanted the double, I wanted to do something that left a mark in the history of cycling," said Cancellara after his win. "Many great riders have won this race and it’s an honour for me to now have won it twice like the late Franco Ballerini did. That's just one of the reasons why I wanted to do the double."
Like in Tour of Flanders Cancellara had bike issues, but that did not stop him. With 50km left, Cancellara made the break from the lead pack and never looked back. Boonen was caught sleeping in the rear of the peloton and all chances of winning Paris-Roubaix left when Cancellara accelerated. "I hadn't planned to attack in that moment," said Cancellara. "But that's racing, it's important to seize the right moment and I got it exactly right. When I went, the gap was there and it was increasing, so I went full gas but with a little left just in case because there was a long way to go. But I made it." Words from here. You do you Cancellara.
