Serse Coppi, younger brother of Fausto, controversially won Paris-Roubaix in 1949.


Coppi was awarded the victory jointly with André Mahe. Mahe crossed the line first, but only after a detour off the race route caused by incorrect directions from a race official. Coppi crossed the line several minutes later, but had followed the correct route. It took the UCI until November to decide that the two riders should share the win.
