The race:

The 1935 Paris-Roubaix was 262 km long and raced at an average speed of 39.207 km/hr.

There were 160 starters and 66 classified finishers.

The day was rainy. Gaston Rebry was tireless in attacking the field until he had reduced the lead group to three: Andé Leducq, Jean Aerts and himself.

After a few kilometers Aerts fell off the pace. Fifteen kilometers from the finish, Leducq suffered a slow leak.

Twice he had to stop to reinflate his tire and of course Rebry, "The Bulldog", didn't wait for the fast-sprinting Frenchman. Rebry earned his third Paris-Roubaix victory, tying Octave Lapize.
