1896 Paris–Roubaix
The 1896 Paris–Roubaix was the 1st edition of the Paris–Roubaix, a classic one-day cycle race in France. The single day event was held on 19 April 1896 and stretched from Paris to its end in a velodrome in Roubaix. The winner was Josef Fischer from Germany who was given 1000 francs for the win, a considerable sum of money at the time. The race, as all editions to 1909, was motorpaced.
==Origin==
The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez, who had built a velodrome in Roubaix and wished to promote the track. It was first presented to the sponsor, Le Vélo, as a training race for the then well established, now defunct, Bordeaux–Paris.〔 Roubaix at the time was a small provincial town, a professional bike race finishing there would be very good for business.
Paul Rousseau, the director of Le Vélo, agreed to start the race outside the paper's offices in Paris. He devised a route and sent out Victor Breyer, the man who stood at the top of the Tourmalet in 1910 and was called a 'murderer' by a rider, to test the route. Breyer drove to Amiens, and then continued by bike the following day. When he reached Roubaix, he was cold and covered in mud. He was miserable enough to suggest the race be called off, a shower and a good meal changed his mind.
