Gilbert wins Paris-Roubaix classic

ROUBAIX: Belgian Philippe Gilbert added to his impressive haul when he claimed his fourth 'Monument' classic by mastering the cobbles to win the Paris-Roubaix on Sunday.

Rik Van Looy, Eddy Merckx and Roger De Vlaeminck have won all five Monuments while Ireland's Sean Kelly was the last man to win four in his career, when he won Milan-San Remo in 1986. "A lot of people thought riding on the cobbles was too hard for me," added Gilbert, also a stage winner on the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta.There were six riders fighting for victory with 48km left after the 36-year-old Gilbert was joined by Politt, Wout van Aert, Peter Sagan, Sep Vanmarcke and Yves Lampaert.
