PHILIPPE THYS (1889–1971) was a Belgian cyclist. "The Basset", as he was called, was a pro from 1912 to 1927.
He was the first rider to win the Tour de France three times, in 1913, 1914 and 1920. There would certainly have been more if the First World War had not deprived him of the best years of his cycling career, according to Henri Desgrange at the third Tour Ceremony of Thys in 1920.
Also in 1922 - 5 stage victories - he came close to the overall victory, but bad luck prevented that.
In his own words, he was one of the founders of the yellow jersey. His manager is said to have asked him to wear a jersey in that color so that the public could recognize him as leader of the standings. That was in 1914. Although there is no reason to doubt his words, the introduction of the yellow jersey dates back much later and the Frenchman Eugène Christophe was the first wearer in 1919.
Philippe Thys also won Paris-Tours and the Tour of Lombardy in 1917. He was Belgian cyclo-cross champion in 1910. In 1921 he won the Criterium of the A's. In 1922 and 1923 he wrote his name on the honors list of Paris-Lyon.
Thys was able to win in the field, on the road and on the track. He proved this in 1919 when he won the Brussels Six Days with fellow countryman Marcel Dupuy.

Took me six days to build this...I rested on the seventh then stood on it. The people who lived there were quite annoyed.

"Beaucoup de beau monde..."
The Six Days of Paris was a former, annually recurring cycling race dating back to the year 1913.
The first edition was held from 13 to 19 January 1913 in the Vélodrome d'Hiver. In this stadium, the six-day period remained until 1958, when for the time being the last one was held. In 1984 the thread was picked up again, but the Six Days event was moved to the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, where in 1989 the last edition was held. In total, this six-day trip was held 42 times.
The winners of the 1954 Six Days were Roger Godeau & Georges Senfftleben, both French track cyclists.
I wonder if anyone of the guests knew the names...
The programme of the event that was won by Belgium's Rene Adriaensens and Albert Bruylandt. It looks to have been an extremely exciting event right down to the wire.
From Sept 24, 1977 Cycling
Looks as if this is not the first crash for the rider on the left (unless they bandaged his arm with great alacrity!).

From the October 31, 1973 Cyclenews
"Several of the amateur teams were new to the boards and to team racing, including third place Bill Shook and Ted Waterbury of Ohio, above. Both members of the bronze medal National Championship pursuit team, the two were so strong that an admiring fellow-competitor declared they would have won the race if it had been their second six instead of their first..."
