    Paris-Roubaix is SO CLOSE

    give a look to cervelo test team Boonen is the absolute favorite with Cancellara and Ballan as runner-ups like last year. I don't think that Hincapie is still in the mix. But I would bet a top five finish for Hushovd who is on form right now and has a support team that is dedicated (Rollin and...
