Australian Stuart O’Grady claimed the biggest win of his European racing career with a stunning victory in the legendary Paris-Roubaix one-day classic here today.
The 33-year-old CSC cyclist from Adelaide became the first Australian to win the race known as the “Hell of the North”, crossing the finish line in the Roubaix velodrome in just over six hours but nearly a minute ahead of Juan Antonio Flecha of Spain and former winner Steffen Wesemann of Switzerland.
O’Grady played his hand perfectly over the 259 kilometres, getting in with a group of 34 riders, including two of his CSC team-mates, that went on to build a maximum lead of nearly five minutes on the peloton.

He could be a complete arse for all I know. I could have him and [b]McEwen[/b] totally the wrong way round in my head.
Oh dammit! It’s not [b] for bold text at all it’s those fellas. Stoopid stoopid me!
