Here's a selection of four interesting jerseys from 1934.
Photo #1 shows Lucien Weiss (France), winner of the 1934 Marseille-Lyon race, wearing a "Lutetia" jersey. That's one I haven't heard of before. From "Match l'Intran" No.419, 21 Aug 1934.
Photo #2 features 1934 TdF winner Antonin Magne (France) after the final stage, wearing his Yellow Jersey. Note the crab patch - anyone know what this signifies? From "Match l'Intran" No.420, 28 August 1934.
Photo #3 presents a selection of participants from the 1934 "Revenge Match" on the Buffalo track (Paris), featuring participants from the World Motorpaced Championships held earlier in Leipzig. From left to right - World Champion Erich Metze (Germany), Paul Krewer (Germany), and Georges Paillard (France). Note Krewer's magnificent "Continental - Dürkopp" jersey with the two-color lettering. From "Match l'Intran" No.420, 28 August 1934.
Photo #4 shows Paul Le Drogo (France), winner of the 1934 Circuit de l'Ouest. Another jersey I haven't seen before - anyone heard of "Roola"? From "Match l'Intran" No.421, 4 September 1934.
