Anyone familiar with the 1933 French-language, German-produced film "Rivaux de la piste"? Albert Préjean plays Willy Streblow, a porteur de journaux-turned-track racer. See limited info at IMDB:

I've received a couple of movie stills... one pic shows Willy Streblow training alone on a wood track while riding a stayer. He's even wearing his "brain bucket" helmet.
I've also received a 1000-word article with quotes from the script. "Hop Willy! Willy!" Anyone care to translate the rest? ;-)
Any additional info about this film would be greatly appreciated.
I've also found an advert in "Vacances 1933" promoting a guided tour to watch the 1933 Paris-Roubaix.
