Incredibly Mapei repeated the one-two-three at Paris-Roubaix on board their C40s twice more - in 19. > Icons of cycling: Campagnolo Tool CaseĪnd to hammer home their point, the next year Mapei and the C40 effected a clean sweep of the Paris-Roubaix podium with Johan Museeuw, Andrea Tafi and Gianluca Bortolami arriving at the Roubaix velodrome together and crossing the line in formation, all three with their arms in the air. This moment marked the end of the road for steel and aluminium frames.
