Belgian Power!
The arrival Belgium's Black Squadron marked the 1922 Paris-Roubaix. However from the start line in Suresnes defending champion Henri Pelissier drove the pace. Over the top of the Doullens hill Pelissier was away alone. The early pace reduced the lead chase group but the Belgian power came through and by Arras. Pelissier was caught by the 11 rider chase group. A tiring Pelissier couldn't match the attack of Albert Dejongh (Bel) and a solo Dejongh rode into Roubaix for a 6 minute victory.
