Of the 13 derailleur equipped bikes that were entered the 1914 Championnat de la Polymultipliée 6 finished:

• 5 Audouard 4-speeds
• One Le Chemineau 6-speed (a 2X3 derailleur system with a double chainwheel)

This was a fine success for Audouard - after the humiliation of the 1913 event when none of the Audouards had managed to finish.
