Members of the religious establishment, in conjunction with the military, very quickly began organizing méhari races (a méhari is a type of camel.).

Its inauguration was a national event and very soon Tirador became the reference track in Spain: there was held Spanish National of Track Cycling Sprint Championships in 1904, evidence that had ceased to be disputed in 1897 for lack of an adequate track. At the same time it propitiated the birth of the Spanish National of Track Cycling Motor-Paced Championships in 1908, until then non-existent, since it was the most suitable track for the long-distance race dispute. Despite this, the cycling fans in Mallorca were going through a period of crisis and the amateur only responded to the big events, so during the rest of the year in the precinct was practiced all kinds of sports, especially the football.

On his first run as a four-year-old, Lassalle ran in the Prix de Barbeville over 3100 m and Longchamp and finished sixth behind Filandre. In the Prix Jean Prat over the same course and distance later that month, he started second favourite and looked the likely winner early in the straight before being overtaken in the closing and beaten easily by the British-trained five-year-old Parnell with Filandre and Pleben in third and fourth. After finishing fifth in his next start over 2400 m, the colt was moved up in distance for France's most prestigious long-distance race, the 4000-m Prix du Cadran at Longchamp on 20 May.

Archer, a Sydney "outsider" who drew scant favour in the betting, spread-eagled the field and defeated the favourite, and Victorian champion, Mormon by six lengths.

The question whether the Boat Race crews are up to the standard of international crews is difficult to judge, since the Boat Race crews train for a long-distance race early in the season, so their training schedule is quite different from crews training for international regattas over 2000 metres that take place later in the year. According to British Olympic gold medallist Martin Cross, Boat Race crews of the early 1980s were viewed as "a bit of a joke" by some international-level rowers of the time. However, their standard has improved substantially since then. Current Boat Race crews do race against some club and international crews in the build-up to the race, and are competitive against them, but again these matches are over various non-standard distances, against crews that might not have been together as long as the Oxbridge crews.
Clarkson meanwhile took the standard journey to Dover where he would catch a ferry across the English Channel to France. However, due to the advancements in public transport since the previous Top Gear long-distance race, all three presenters were aware that the train from St. Pancras to Paris was 20 minutes faster than on previous trips, whilst the ferry journey that the car had to make was now 40 minutes longer; with effectively an hour's advantage, May and Hammond therefore believed that the race was virtually over when they managed to be over 200 miles ahead of Clarkson when the car finally reached French soil. On arrival into Paris, Hammond and May took a metro train across the French capital to Gare de Lyon before taking a TGV to Milan. However, having to navigate the winding tracks around the French Alps meant their speed slowed considerably which allowed Clarkson to catch up.
