1940 Tour De France: Rare photo

It looks like the leader is just about to be chased down by the peloton after a failed breakaway attempt.

the leader has also what looks like a nice rear pannier rack... with a nice Altura Pannier Bag he could have carried a whole stack of Potato Mashers

Wonder if they are all pedalling in time, "Links, Recht, links, recht"

Also, if the bikes have mounts for their K98s, they'd be worth a bob or two.
