Paris–Roubaix: The Inside Story

Les Woodland's book Paris-Roubaix: The Inside Story - all the bumps of cycling's cobbled classic is available as an audiobook here.

1907 Tour Quick Facts:

4,488 km raced at an average speed of 28.470 km/hr

93 starters and 33 classified finishers.

Émile Georget was riding with a substantial lead, but after he made an illegal bicycle change, he was hit with a 45 point penalty, large enough to make it impossible for him to win the Tour.

Lucien Petit-Breton, who was riding extremely well, became the leader and eventually the 1907 Tour's overall winner.

The 1907 Tour used points to calculate the General Classification.

Stage 2: Wednesday, July 10, Roubaix - Metz, 398 km

Georget and Trousselier were awarded a tie for the stage. Mr. Ron Couwenhouven was kind enough to send this explanation:

According to l’Auto  (11-7, 12-07 and 13-7-1907) Emile Georget was the winner of the second stage Roubaix – Metz. He rode in a green-black jersey, but judge Weylerd gave the first place to Louis Trousselier, who finished with the same time as Georget. Weylerd was thinking Trousselier was the rider in green-black. So Trousselier was presented to Mr. Zeppelin, governor of Elzas – Loharingen, as the winner.

Two hours after the finish, Weylerd corrected his fault, but Emil Gentil, director of Alcyon, the team sponsor of Trousselier, protested against this decision. Two days later Tour de France boss Henri Desgrange, after hearings with both riders, decided for a dead-heat. Both riders got 1 point for the all-over standings. Thus: Roubaix – Metz got two stage-winners.

Stage 8: Monday, July 22, Nîmes - Toulouse, 303 km

There are all kinds of problems with the results from this stage, The official Tour site (which is rife with errors) has an entirely different top 10 and Trousselier's unchanged GC point total from stage 7 makes no sense since he came in 6th in stage 8. I've thrown up my hands and gone with the results from the Tour Encyclopedie.
