Cyclists’ “Grand Prix“ (1930)

Full title reads: “France. Cyclists ’Grand Prix’. Leducq - sprints home to win after 6,000 miles round France! The last stage, there are 8, is from Geneva to Paris.“ Paris, France. Shots of cyclists as they ride across a bridge over the River Seine. People have come out to watch the race. The riders swing into a Velodrome to sprint the last few metres of the race. The grandstand is filled with crowds. Shot of two of the riders - presumably one of them is Leducq the winner - with well wishes. Both the cyclists are very dirty. The winner rides a lap of honour around the track. The winning team also take a spin. N.B. Presumably this is the Tour De France - it certainly sounds a gruelling.
