The only information I have found indicates that in 1924 Benoit rode for the three man team M. Buysee-Colonial together with Lucien and Marcel Buysee. It is ironic that this topic came about because of the photo showing a rather scruffy jersey as jerseys were a big issue in 1924. The riders had to finish in the same number of jerseys as they started in. No slipping back to the team car to hang onto the door handle and hand over your gillet in those days! With cold 4am starts things no doubt got pretty sweaty by mid-day. I think that Pelissier packed over this crazy rule. Ray Green, Harrow, Middlesex
