If anyone was fortunate enough to watch this years edition of Paris Roubaix im sure you will agree it was a fantastic race.
Boonen closing impossible gaps in the final 10km, Stannard gritting his teeth and attacking having chased down 3 previous breaks, and Hayman, having made the days initial breakaway group - quietly followed moves and made his own devastating attack to make gap that stick. Into the velodrome and Hayman, still using his head, got some height on the Roubaix boards giving him those extra few kph's and taking him to the second ever Aussie P-R victory.
As is the trend in the modern peloton Hayman has decided to release his power data for the day and it is this article I share with you today. To Whet your appetite - here is some summary figures from the days effort.
