2012 Paris Roubaix Spring Classic Race

Description

My greatest victory ever, says Tom Boonen about his record-equalling fourth Paris-Roubaix, and the most spectacular. How can you disagree? Fighting his way alone across the treacherous, half-broken cobbles of northern France for muddy mile after muddy mile, Boonen's boldest of bold long-range solo moves brought Belgium's greatest ever Classics rider fresh success in the hardest one-day race of all. And not even the mighty Team Sky, with four top riders chasing flat-out behind could catch Tornado Tom in his inspired lone dash across Hell's most fearsome cycling labyrinth. Never before this year's Paris-Roubaix had a rider succeeded in winning every major cobbled Classic in a single season. But mighty Boonen proved to be more than up to the task. Commentary by Phil Liggett & Paul Sherwen. 2 Disc Set approx. 240 min
