May 1948 Barlow wuxuu u safray England ka dibna wuxuu u safray Faransiiska halkaas oo uu ku tartamay Grand Prix des Nations, tartan shaqsi ah oo waqtigiisa la dhaafay, Esperazza Grand Prix iyo Nantes Grand Prix. Sida uu Barlow u yiri, "Waxaa igu soo dhacday surwaalkeyga tartanka Grand Prix Des Nations, laakiin aad ayaan ugu fiicnaaday labadii tartan ee kale". Barlow wuxuu u safray Valkenburg, Netherlands si uu uga qeyb galo tartanka UCI Road World Championships
Si kastaba ha ahaatee waxaa ku dhacay nin kale oo baaskiil waday xilli uu tababar ku qaadanayay koorsada waxaana lagu qasbay in uu dib u laabto. Barlow waxaa la sheegay inuu galay 1949 Paris <unk> Roubaix, si kastaba ha noqotee ma cadda inuu bilaabay tartanka. Sikastaba ha ahaatee ma uusan dhameysan.
