Grand-prix Paul Dunkel for amateurs and professionals:

After a tremendous start, Peter Willemssen took the lead in Steinsel, on a dry and very fast circuit. The Belgian quickly built up a lead of around 20 seconds, later even 40 seconds over a group of a dozen chasers and seemed invincible at the start of the race. Behind him, Arnould, De Bie, Boezewinkel, Van den Abeele, Moonen, Daelmans and Vervaet, among others, tried resist without giving up the hope of victory. It was Erik Boezewinkel, the 1990 junior world champion in Getxo, who still believed in his chances and was more active than the others in the group. Under the pace set by the Dutchman, the group behind Willemssens broke up and Boezewinkel found himself with Peter Van den Abeele leading the chase. A little further back, Danny De Bie was still well in the race with the other Willemssens, David, and with Alex Moonen. Dominique Arnould had lost some ground and was riding not far behind the best Luxembourger, Pascal Triebel. The other pre-race favourite, Mike Kluge, was far behind at the bottom of the rankings but entertained the large crowd of spectators.

With two laps to go, the situation had completely changed: Boezewinkel and Van den Abeele managed to close the gap on Willemssens and the three of them were going to battle it out for victory. Van den Abeele took advantage of this same lap to launch an attack, but he wasn't going to get away so easily and the other two came back onto his wheel. After several attempts by the the three of them which proved too much for the young Boezewinkel, whose reserves were exhausted, Van den Abeele was able to pull away again in the final few hundred metres. After two third places in the event, Van den Abeele finally could taste the victory, finishing just under ten seconds ahead of Willemssens. Pascal Triebel was the first Luxembourger to finish, coming in sixteenth, no doubt still a little tired from the previous day's race in Dijon, where he had achieved an impressive fourth place.
