Track Cycling World Championships - 1920 © Collections L'Équipe August 8, 1920. Before giving way the next day to the Olympic Games, the World Championships took centre stage on the track at the Antwerp velodrome, notably with this middle-distance event: 100 km run behind a motorbike. The good carburetion of the engine counts almost as much as the strength of the thighs and in this game, it is the Frenchman Georges Sérès who wins in 1h25''. French, European and world champion in 1920, he chose the tricolour tunic to advertise his bike. Inkjet printing on baryta paper. Single posterior print. Edition 1/1. 60 x 80 cm
