Data Source: The official PBP web site: 1931 results.

Notes: This is the first of three years where the randonneur PBP ran along side the pro race PBP. In A Short History of Paris-Brest-Paris, Bill Bryant states: "While still a very prestigious professional race, the organizers dropped the category for the unglamorous touristes-routiers. Luckily for today's randonneurs, the Audax Club Parisien stepped in and organized a 1200-kilometer brevet run alongside the race." So although these two sets of riders were riding on the same course, at more of less the same time, it may have seemed more than ever like two events, with two separate sets of results. The 1931 randonneur results are from the official PBP web site which came on line in 2006. Following PBP 2007 French rider, and multiple PBP finisher, Alain Collongue was able to improve the results for all years by adding some information and making corrections in the existing data. The information on this page was taken form the Alain's corrected 1931 file - it is dated Jan. 4, 2008 on the PBP site. The PBP web site's randonneur results are ordered alphabetically by rider's last name, though the official results in 1931 would have been order by time. Although I've restored the list to time ordering, it only approximates the official 1931 list because riders who finished at the same time would not necessarily have been listed alphabetically within their minute group.
