Post by: Wycombewheeler on 24 August, 2019, 02:29:11 pm

Is there a definitive count fo number of entrants, starters and finishers? I can't see anything on the website.

6374 starters
1702 abandons or time greater than 90 hours

So does that mean we can now declare:
Better conditions than 2007
?

 :P

(There are usually lots of adjustments to the results, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are slightly different "official" stats later in the year.)

2007 27% non finishers, https://www.paris-brest-paris.org/index2.php?lang=en&cat=presentation&page=statistiques
just the same as this year I am interested by the figures on this page about international riders having better completion rates than French, especially after all the fuss when French riders couldn't enter and made claims about losing places to overseas riders who weren't capable.
