The race:

The 1910 Paris-Roubaix was 266 km long and ridden at an average speed of 29.27 km/hr.

There were 145 starters and 69 (or perhaps 74) classified finishers.

Time splits after 14th place were rounded to nearest minute and are not available after 45th place.

Octave Lapize (1909 winner) and Cyrille Van Houwaert (1908 winner) separated themselves from the field well before the race's finish in the new Roubaix velodrome.

Van Houwaert was in the front for the first five laps on the track but the faster Lapize slipped by the Belgian to win his second consecutive Paris-Roubaix.

Cyrille Van Howaert and Octave Lapize arrive at the Roubaix velodrome.
