Video: Behind the scenes as Mat Hayman wins Paris-Roubaix
Ever since Mat Hayman won Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, their Backstage Pass video of the race was going to be something special – and they haven’t disappointed us, it's a cracker.
The race means more than any other to the 37-year-old, who has ridden it 15 times – and the behind the scenes video shows exactly what his win meant to everyone involved with the team.
There’s also an absolute comedy gold moment involving the team car and a French policeman the second Hayman crosses the line, too.
Meanwhile, today, the design has been unveiled of Australia's new $5 bill that will come into circulation from September – and some wag has already suggested an alternate version that replaces the queen’s head with Hayman’s, among other tweaks.

I think we can agree. It's better to kick the shit out of the driver's car, than the driver. Also, I blame Rod Liddle for the incident
