2005 Paris–Roubaix

These are the results for the 2005 edition of the Paris–Roubaix cycling classic, in which Tom Boonen entered history doing the double with his Ronde van Vlaanderen win. This edition was run under clear skies and relatively good weather.

In the previous Sunday's Ronde van Vlaanderen, Boonen launched a surprise attack on his adversaries, surprising those who expected him to wait until the finale to launch his sprint. This time, Boonen patiently waited for the final group of three (with Hincapie and Flecha) to enter the velodrome together. Then he easily outsprinted the other riders in the final lap.
