The race was run in exceptionally warm and sunny April weather. Italian Fabio Roscioli was the last survivor of an early breakaway, but was caught by a seven-man group on the Eikenberg. 30 from the finish, Laurent Fignon and Per Pedersen broke away from the group, but were counterattacked and dropped by Moreno Argentin and Rudy Dhaenens. Argentin, a four-time winner of Liège–Bastogne–Liège easily won the two-man sprint. [1]
