Justin Davis reporting that for the second week in a row,
a World Cup event is taken by a 'relatively unknown'
rider. First, it was the little name ride Steffen Wesemann
(T-Mobile) with the BIG surprise win last week at the Tour
of Flanders. This just in, the unheard of Magnus Backsled
(unknown team) wins the 102nd running of Paris-Roubaix,
the Queen of the Classics. The GREAT Baden Cooke, whom
Justin has had his eye 😉 on for some time, was unable to
take the start on the Easter Day Classic, citing a rug
burn boo-boo on his knee's. Justin, reporting from Baden's
bed, said, "I've never heard of Magnus. Is this guy
Aussie?"

You are right. Not many people know mr Backsled, I for one
sure don't. However Magnus Bäckstedt is definitely not
unknown and neither is the team Alessio-Bianchi I believe.
Oh yes he was on the podium only a few days ago I beleive
with only Boonen a little higher up That he would win a
great race like this however is absolutely awesome. For once
I was shouting louder than the TV commentators 😉

Grattis Magnus I think the Peloton calls him Maggie but he's
over 190 cm so don't say it with a smirk 😉
