Paris-Roubaix 1987 [FULL RACE]

April 12, 1987

Paris-Roubaix 1987 – Compiègne – Roubaix : 264 km

The 1987 Paris–Roubaix was the 85th running of the Paris–Roubaix single-day cycling race. It was held on 12 April 1987 over a distance of 264 kilometres (164.0 miles)

Wet, muddy and slippery. Sean Kelly fell on wet cobbles at the 25-kilometers to go point, holding up most of the favorites. Eric Vanderaerden attacked right then and immediately had a gap. He rode away from the field and caught three breakaways (Rudy Dhaenens, Patrick Versluys and Philippe Vandenbrande) who had been away for a long time. They rode to the finish together, where Vanderaerden easily won the sprint.
