World Cycling Productions - 2005 Paris-Roubaix: The 103rd edition of Paris-Roubaix could not have been scripted better in a Hollywood studio. The story lines highlight George Hincapie looking for a first win in the race he so dearly loves, Tom Boonen attempts to be only the 9th rider to complete the Flanders - Roubaix double and Andrea Tafi lines up with hopes of a strong fairwell ride, and final ride of his career, in the classic he won in 1999. Included in the story is an early breakaway, a few token crashes, a final push by the stongmen of the race and the ultimate ending... a sprint finish on the Velodrome at Roubaix.
