Each week I'm posting a photo of a winner of Paris-Roubaix, in year order.
For this week here is a photo of the winner of the 1939 Paris-Roubaix, Emile Masson, Jr.
The 1939 Paris-Roubaix was 250 km long and raced at an average speed of 35.93 km/hr.
There were 171 starters and 68 classified finishers.
Twenty kilometers from the finish, Emile Masson, Jr was slightly ahead of a powerful quartet of Mercier riders: Marcel Kint, Roger Lapébie, Maurice Archambaud and Cyrille Van Overberghe.
Masson drove on and crossed the finish line in Roubaix a minute and a half in front of his chasers. Marcel Kint was the first of the chasers across the line.
We have complete results for every edition of Paris-Roubaix. You can find them here.
Volume two of The Story of the Tour de France opens with super-climber Lucien van Impe's taking advantage of a course made for the riders with wings. His win was followed by the dominating presence of Bernard Hinault, who became the third rider to win the Tour five times.
Unable to fulfill his destiny as a likely five-time winner because of a hunting accident, Greg LeMond won the Tour three times. LeMond's era was followed by that of the remarkable Spaniard Miguel Indurain, the first man to win the Tour five times in a row.
At first, it looked like Lance Armstrong had done what no other rider in the Tour's history had ever accomplished, win the Tour seven times in a row. Both he and his successor, Floyd Landis, were revealed to have used drugs to win.
The book concludes with a quest for the greatest-ever Tour de France rider and an epilogue explaining the reason for the extraordinary success of the Tour.
You can get The Story of the Tour de France, Volume 2: 1976 - 2018 in print, Kindle eBook or audiobook versions here on Amazon.

What you'll find in our site:
The Tour de France. Lots of information, including results for every single stage of every Tour.
Other important bike races: the Giro d'Italia, the Vuelta a España, along with the classics, stage races, national championships, world records, and Olympics.
We keep a running record of the races going on in the current year, with results, photos, maps, etc. We've been doing this since 2001, so the results for this year as well as previous years are available here.
This site is owned and run by McGann Publishing. We're a micro-publisher specializing in books about cycling history. Interested? Here's information on our titles in print.
We are devoted to cycling and all of its characters and events. The sport's past matters to us. We've been interviewing anyone who will sit down and talk to us, then writing up the interviews, and collecting other stories about cycling. We have rider histories—the stories of individual riders, many by the great cycling writer Owen Mulholland. We have our oral history project—the results of our interviews. And we've collected lots of photos over the years, of racers, racing, manufacturing, etc., which we have arranged into photo galleries for your enjoyment.
Being in the bike business for many years, we had to opportunity to travel a lot in Europe, riding bikes, attending trade shows, etc. We've written up many of our travels, and had some contributions from others whose travels differed from ours.
What would the day be without the funnies? Our friend Francesca Paoletti has drawn a series of comics about bike related stuff, poking fun at us along the way.
If you are interested in bikes, sooner or later you will want to know some technical information about bikes. We have articles here about bike weight, how bike frames are prepped and assembled, selected bike parts, and others.
And then there's food! The bicycle runs on the human engine, and the human engine runs on food, so of course we're interested in that.
Along the way we've been privileged to meet many people in and around the bike business who do things we like. The folks whose ads are up there on the right are friends of ours who we believe conduct their business knowledgably and honorably; here are a few others who do stuff we like.
