2005 Paris Roubaix

Code: RD210C

For raw passion and fury in cycling, Paris-Roubaix has always been unbeatable. The 2005 race was no exception. This classic account of the Queen of the Classics shows every last detail of cycling’s most grueling and unpredictable one-day race. Nearly 200 riders brave the mud, dust, crashes and cobbles of windswept northern France, but in this vastly complex and intriguing blockbuster of an event, only one rider can come home the winner. While Belgian Tom Boonen looked set to top his earlier successes, many were determined to stop him, including the exceptionally courageous American George Hincapie. Will Hincapie (Discovery Channel) or Spain’s Juan Antonio Flecha (Fassa Bortolo) spoil Boonen’s bid for a Spring double? For an unforgettable mix of bravery, misfortune and skill in the most difficult of sporting circumstances, look no further than Paris-Roubaix 2005 - a truly unique viewing experience.”
