This was an epic battle, poor Wegmueller!Hey SoCalrider, thanks for the heard work, you brought back memories!

Now that you mention it: was this the last ever time a TDF-caliber rider seriously played his hand in Paris-Roubaix? My memory of early-90s PR is a little hazy, so maybe there was a Bugno move I've forgotten about; but it may well be that Fignon '88 was the last. What a guy: what he lacked in hair he made up for in sack.

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).

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

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.

Wegmuller was a diesel with absolutely no sprint. DeMol was a kermesse rider with a better than average sprint. They both raced true to their style. The bag could have gone into DeMol's derailleur and he still would have won the sprint.

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

Yeh, 'great' victory by Demol and do you think he'd have scored his job with US Postal with that one-off, wheelsucking win.. ?? hmmm |
