I know it's crazy, but I rose at 3:30 this morning, having gotten to bed at midnight, to watch Paris-Roubaix on my computer. (NBC Sports had a live stream.) I was glued to the computer screen from 3:51 AM, when the race started, until 9:58 AM, when the race ended. The winner, 37-year-old Mathew Hayman of Australia, averaged 27.28 miles per hour for 160.01 miles, which is mind-boggling. Here is a five-minute video highlight of the race.
