over a length behind Schilles; placement of the three non-qualifiers is unclear. Semifinal 3 Jones won by half a wheel. Semifinal 4 Morisetti was two lengths behind Kingsbury. Final Johnson suffered a punctured wheel shortly after the start, and retired. The other three riders crawled around the track, jockeying for position. When the final sprint occurred on the last lap, Kingsbury also punctured a tyre when entering the main straight. Jones and Schilles raced to the finish line, with Schilles winning by a couple of inches. However the race took longer than the 1 minute 45 second time limit, and was declared void. Much to the surprise of spectators and the competitors, the National Cyclists Union refused to allow the race to be rerun. According to the Official Report, "the Frenchman apparently won by inches, but the Judge did not officially place the riders." Notes Sources De Wael, Herman. Herman's Full Olympians: "Cycling 1908".
