The race:

The 1914 Paris-Roubaix we 274 km long and raced at an average speed of 30.30 km/hr

There were 153 starters and 79 classified finishers.

I do not have time splits, except that we know that the first seven riders came into the Roubaix velodrome together, hence I've given them "same time". Beyond that I have only the final official finishing order.

The race enjoyed beautiful weather.

It took a long time to wear down the peloton. There were still 50 riders together at Arras and with ten kilometers to got there were 21 riders at the front.

Charles Crupelandt was the fastest of the seven survivors who made to to the Roubaix velodrome together, making 1914 his second Paris-Roubaix win. Crupelandt had already won Paris-Roubaix in 1912.

 

Winner Charles Crupelandt in 1913.
