Bordeaux-Paris

Last races

By this time, however, the race was beginning to lose its prestige. It required special training, and clashed with riders' plans to compete in the Vuelta a Espana or Giro d'Italia stage races. Fields began to dwindle and the last motor-paced version was held in 1985; three non-paced versions were held from 1986 but the 1988 proved to be the last running of the event as a professional cycle race.
