Podium girls: when did they first appear? This is a question related to competitive cycling. I would like to narrow it down to the historical aspect. I am interested in the political and social aspects, but I would gently ask to leave them out from the specific question asked here.

Does anybody know when and where the first podium girls appeared at a cycling race? 
(I do not exclude answering myself the question in the near future, I am asking in case someone already did this research)
&quot;As soon as cycling races started&quot; is probably one way of answering your question &quot;when and where the first podium girls appeared at a cycling race?&quot;
I had a look at Greek art related to sports. A lot of it shows women which seem to meet the Greek ethos of female beauty. On that basis I would argue the idea of attractive women accompanying male sports winners is as old as sport. It is unlikely the first presence of a podium girl at a cycling race is documented, but I think it is safe to assume they were pretty much always there.
I know it was goddess Nike and not just a civilian, and I'm sorry if you were after a specific event name, date and location but hopefully you can see this as one way of answering your question.
If you were after the oldest specific, traceable record/mention of a podium girl at a cycling race, then you may want to reword your question.
