The Race:
The 1994 Paris-Roubaix was 270 km long and raced at an average speed of 36.160 km/hr.
There were 191 riders starters and 48 classified finishers.
The course had 55.95 km of pavé.
There was heavy rain for several days before the start with rain, snow, sleet and cold wind the day before the race. On race morning the riders faced strong wind, black rain clouds and snow. The temperature was 36F at the start. The snow and rain abated before the riders hit the first section of pavé.
About 20 kilometers past the Wallers-Arenberg Forest the front group consisted of Andrei Tchmil, Nico Verhoeven, Johan Museeuw, Adri Van der Poel, Franco Ballerini and Bruno Boscardin.
Tchmil attacked and quickly got a gap. He soloed the last 60 km to win alone, despite a spirited chase by a group that included Gilbert Duclos-Lassalle and Johan Museeuw.
