Pic of the Day 22 July René Berton wins 1948 Grand Prix des Nations

René Berton (La Perle - Hutchinson) on his way to winning the 1948 Grand Prix des Nations, ahead of Ferdi Kubler and Eloi Tassin, covering the 140 kms at an average speed of 39.155 KpH. The tall Frenchman chose a fixed gear with single front brake. Note the interesting goggles - are those inserts for prescription lenses?
