The Race:

The 1993 Paris-Roubaix was 267.5 km long and raced at an average speed of 41.650 km/hr.

There were 137 starters and 69 classified finishers.

Twenty riders coalesced into a powerful lead group after the Wallers-Arenberg sector of cobbles.

After several others made fruitless attempts to escape, Franco Ballerini, closely watched and followed by Gilbert Duclos-Lassalle, broke away.

The pair hammered their way to the velodrome. In the sprint Ballerini was moving faster, but a look at the photo finish picture showed he had passed Duclos-Lassalle after the line.

Late in his career Duclos-Lassale had won Paris-Roubaix two years in a row.
