1987 Paris Roubaix Finish


What better way to ring in 2007 than with a blast from the past. Check out this classic Roubaix finish from 1987. Make sure to stick around long enough to see Hardman Bobke Roll finish 39:00 down from Vanderaerden. The event crews are literally tearing down the event as Bobke comes home.

But he finished... Hats off to Bobke to end what must have been a long day both physically and mentally.

Paul - Indeed, Bobke's accomplishments are incredible. Racing in Europe in 1987 was a new experience for an American; countless fast cyclists went to Europe in hopes of becoming a PRO only to be sent home beaten and tired from the intensity of European life and racing. Hats off to Bobke and his 7-11 teammates for breaking ground in our favorite sport.
