The race:

The 1928 Paris-Roubaix was 260 km long and raced at an average speed of 33.60 km/hr

There were 89 starters and 52 classified finishers. I'm sorry, I have no time splits after 25th place

The race was full of attacks almost from the gun, but the real move was at Arras when 1927 winner Georges Ronsse took off.

Understanding the importance of the move, Charles Pélissier and Charles Meunier were instantly on his wheel. Shortly thereafter, Andé Leducq and Gaston Rebry bridged up to the trio. That was the race.

Pélissier got a bad hunger knock near the end and dropped off to find a cafe and Rebry had stomach trouble.

Leducq possessed a fearsome sprint and put it to good use, leaving Ronsse several bike lengths behind. Leducq would go on to win the Tour de France in 1930 and 1932.
