Mathew Hayman on Luck:

I just played the game and got lucky

via Myth Busters: the Mathew Hayman Paris-Roubaix edition by SBS.

We were in Port Augusta overnight on our from Adelaide to Wilpena in the Flinders Ranges. Always try to watch Paris-Roubaix and it was great to see Mathew win on the final lap in velodrome. Saw Stuart O'Grady's win back in 2008 and so glad that I stayed up and watched him play the game and create his own special bit of luck.
