In the last PBP they stopped requiring fenders.

I thought PBP required fenders and lights. The Rebours' bike has a handlebar bag and a light. I can't tell if the bike has fenders or not. Hendrickx, Fazio and Neuville don't have any of that gear. Were there different rules for different classes of participant?

Some of you might recognize Mme Rebour, or at least recognize her husband. For her, PBP begins with pumping the tires. From "Miroir Sprint" No.120, 6 September 1948.
2. Hendrickx Leads Fazio

(Proof that Albert Hendrickx recovered from his terrible crash in yesterday's Pic of the Day.) Albert Hendrickx leads Mario Fazio in the closing kilometers of the 1948 Paris-Brest-Paris. From "Miroir Sprint" No.120, 6 September 1948.

In the final sprint on wet cobbles, Albert Hendrickx beats fellow Belgian Francois Neuville to the line. 1,200 of racing, and separated by one bike length. From "Miroir Sprint" No.120, 6 September 1948.
