The longest successful post-war breakaway by a single rider was by Albert Bourlon in the 1947 Tour de France. In the Carcassone–Luchon stage, he stayed away for 253 kilometres (157 mi).[216] It was one of seven breakaways longer than 200 kilometres (120 mi), the last being Thierry Marie's 234 kilometres (145 mi) escape in 1991.[216] Bourlon finished 16 m 30s ahead.
