50 kilometres, Professionals, Men

This was a paced scratch race on the track at Vincennes, with the pacing being done by tandems, although there was some confusion at the start and some riders had difficulties finding their tandems. Tom Linton and Paul Bor were unable to find their tandems and quit the race just after the start. Constant Huret crashed after 7 km and was out of the race, and Andresse followed him “soon after.” The next out of the race was Arthur Chase, who was in the lead at the time, when he lost contact with his tandem.

The pack then rode together for most of the race, although there were several accidents, when riders hit tandems and crashed. The 30 km mark was passed in 30:15.2, while the 40 km mark was done in 39:46.6, with Piet Dikkentman leading. At 45 km Thaddäus Robl attacked and dropped all the remaining riders except Dikkentman and Émile Bonhours, although he gradually rode them off his wheel, and Robl ended up ¾ lap ahead of Dikkentman in second, with Bonhours finishing another 150 metres back. Dikkentman protested the outcome, stating that he had been interfered with by Arthur Chase, but the protest was not allowed. Robl won 1,200 francs, with Dikkentman receiving 800 francs, and Bonhours 500.
