In 1994 Bugno beat Museeuw by 7 mm (0.28 in) in a four-man sprint, the smallest margin in history.[56] The next day Flemish newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws put the photo finish on its cover, accompanied by the headline "The Sorrow of Flanders".[57] Nonetheless, Museeuw dominated the race for a decade, with a series of eight podium finishes and three victories. The Flemish media awarded him the highest possible nickname, the Lion of Flanders.
