Tracking the French drought

[rallybanana]

The aim of this thread is to provide a documentary reference of top races and their last French winner:

Gent-Wevelgem: Philippe Gaumont (1997)
Paris-Roubaix: Frédéric Guesdon (1997)
La Flèche Wallonne: Laurent Jalabert (1997)
World Road Race Championship: Laurent Brochard (1997)
Giro di Lombardia: Laurent Jalabert (1997)

When this thread was opened, five one-day races last had a French winner in 1997.
Now just Paris-Roubaix remains
