What’s in VeloNews Magazine – June 2010
In 2010 the spring classics season belonged to one rider, Saxo Bank’s Fabian Cancellara. Over the course of three weekends — E3 Prijs, the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix — Cancellara won three of the hardest one-day races in pro cycling, each time crossing the finish line alone against the best classics riders in the sport, and each time by a wider margin than the last. VeloNews managing editor Neal Rogers was on the ground in Belgium and Northern France to witness the Swiss rider’s domination and put it into perspective.
