Story of the day
The first edition of Paris–Roubaix was held to promote the newly opened velodrome in Roubaix. Riders set off from Paris at 5:30 in the morning, and over nine hours later, a mud- and blood-covered German, Josef Fischer, was the first to enter the velodrome. After six laps, he claimed victory in the inaugural race.
