The field consisted of 5 pairs of cyclists, each pair from a different country.[1] The Vélodrome de Vincennes track was a 500-metre (1,640 ft) loop.[2]
The final three pairs competed for the three medals. The French led most of the way, with the Dutch taking a brief lead before veering off. Bosch later explained that Peeters had finished a bottle of cognac before the final.[3]
