Last Sunday was the 105th running of Paris-Roubaix, the "King of the Classics". Tom Boonen of Omega-Pharma-Quick Step won, riding the 257 km course in a time of 5:55:22.

This year's race hasn't been posted yet, but the link is for the 2011 edition. Of course, the commentary is provided by Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin, the best sports announcers in the business! Tongue
