1988 Paris Roubaix Finish

[@Hermijuve]

This is the first race I ever video taped. I used to play this video when I'd train in the winter. Consequently, I've literally watched this video at least 200 times.

[@garyallen4313]

Yes I understand this is one of the best filmed Roubaix races of all time… it makes you wanna ride….

[@JSSBBB]

I did the same. I was 15yrs old and rode my rollers while watching this. My rollers were smooth, but I was in that race with them. The music and liggets voice drove me hard.

fignon battling it out in Paris Roubix (and he already won Milan-San Remo)....hard to see another TDF winner contesting in these races ever again.

It is Geoffrey Downes' "Symphonie Electronique." You can get it on iTunes, and probably other places online. I can't ID the second song, but I know I've heard it somewhere else!

[@gregoryfamularo3224]

Does anyone have this 1988 race on a French or British Dutch Belgian feed????

[@Hermijuve]

@bikeracerguy I believe they moved it, for a couple years anyhow, to finish next to a major sponsors warehouse or HQ. At least that's what I remember reading.

[@74Lilly]

He could have attacked him when he was trying to get the bag out. Demol didn't know he couldn't shift. I thought it was a classy move (to not attack).

[@fignon]

[@fignon]

[@UnivegaSuperSport]

at 2:20 Phil says, "The prospect of an unknown winning..." Well, they remain unknowns to viewers for quite a while since he fails to even mention one of their names until five minutes into the video. It's a bad habit of focusing on the story that was expected while ignoring the story that's unfolding.

[@adam1234a]

he gave him a chance, he should have switched bikes.

[@WELLBRAN]

Well you have to be up there at the end to suck the wheel? you would do the same given the chance.

[@wanmaker]

[@ThisIzTheEdge]

[@ArmandoVegaMartínez]
