Johan Museeuw (1997)

The one-day race Paris – Roubaix 1996 was the 94th edition of the cycling classic and took place on Sunday, April 14th, 1996.

At the anniversary, the Mapei cycling team celebrated the triple, perhaps the most famous victory in its history. The teammate Johan Museeuw , Gianluca Bortolami and Andrea Tafi attacked together on the eleventh pavé section, km 80 in front of the goal, and one of three team time trial developed in the style of a lead of 2:38 minutes on the fourth-placed Stefano Zanini out. On the Roubaix cycle track, the riders did without a sprint and crossed the finish line in formation. The Mapei sports director Patrick Lefevere had set the order beforehand, after a telephone consultation with company owner Giorgio Squinzi . A fourth Mapei driver, Franco Ballerini , finished fifth shortly before the finish despite several punctures.
