The race:

The 1948 Paris-Roubaix was 246 km and raced at an average speed of 43.992 km/hr

There were 231 starters and 60 classified finishers. Time splits after eighth place unavailable

Rik van Steenbergen bridged to a small lead group just as the race reached Roubaix.

Emile Idée gambled on an attack, knowing van Steenbergen would outsprint them all. But, when Idée looked back after his attack, he saw that only van Steenbergen had been able to follow him.

The final outcome was no surprise, on the Roubaix velodrome van Steenbergen easily sped past Idée.
