CSC's Aussie rider Luke Roberts finished 59th in his first Paris-Roubaix, rolling across the finish line in a group with 17 riders at 10.36 behind winner Tom Boonen. Cyclingnews spoke to him after the race, and Luke appeared thoroughly impressed.
"It definitely was a big experience," said Roberts. "It's one thing to watch this race on television, seeing all those people on the side of the cobblestone roads, but to actually be riding through those crowds is awesome, a big thrill. I went OK, finished in a good group. I have to admit I probably wasn't desperate enough to be at the front when we hit the cobbles. It was just such a fight.
