You had to get on in a half-lap or sooner otherwise a rider would come up on you and start to pass, losing you a position right at the start. It happened to me once, learn fast (pardon the pun) or get lost in the
shuffle.

1933 Critérium National d'Hiver de Demi-Fond

Vel' d'Hiv', Paris, 1933. Start of the 1st heat of the Critérium National d'Hiver de Demi-Fond. From left to right: Auguste Wambst, (Georges?) Paillard, et (Jean?) Maréchal. Paillard would go on to win this heat, but a

rider from the 2nd heat, Lacquehay, would win the four-rider finale. Note the variations in helmet designs, and the beautiful and BIG chainrings.
>From "Match l'Intran" No.337, 21 February 1933.
