Tour de France, 1936. Having just crested the Izoard climb a few moments after Sylvére Maes, Antonin Magne pauses to flip his rear wheel around in order to change his gear for the fast descent, assisted by mechanics, spectators, and a brace of French Mountain Troops.

Also shown - two images of the 1936 Tour negotiating narrow dirt roads while passing through Sainte-Marie-De-Vars.
>From "Match l'Intran" No.525, 21 July 1936.
