The 1930 Paris–Roubaix was the 31st edition of the Paris–Roubaix, a classic one-day cycle race in France. The single day event was held on 20 April 1930 and stretched 258km (160miles) from Paris to its end in a velodrome in Roubaix.[1] The winner was Julien Vervaecke from Belgium.[2]
Jean Maréchal finished 24 seconds ahead of Belgian Julien Vervaecke but was moved to second because, while Maréchal was trying to pass Vervaecke, the Belgian tumbled into a ditch. According to some, Maréchal hit the Belgian's shoulder, causing his fall. Jacques Augendre, historian of the Tour de France, said Maréchal, who was 20, "was riding as an individual for a little bike-maker, Colin, and he got to Roubaix alone. His happiness was short-lived. Arbitrarily accused of having provoked a fall by Julien Vervaecke, with whom he had broken away, he was disqualified without any sort of hearing. Important detail: Vervaecke belonged to the all-powerful Alcyon team, run by the no less powerful Ludovic Feuillet..."[3]
