Paris-Roubaix 2012

There's really no point in telling you what happened because it's very unlikely that anyone reading this blog won't have watched the race (and if you didn't, shame on you) - suffice to say it was a vintage year with crashes, courage and an heroic victory.

And anyway, it's irrelevant who actually wins Paris-Roubaix: that it exists is all that matters, and the last rider across the line is every bit as much a hero as the first.

Not as much mud as expected, but you can't have everything.
