World Championships cycling 1962

The World Championships cycling on the road in 1962 were conducted between 29 August and 2 September in Italy.

The individual competitions were run in Salò on a circuit of 12.88 kilometers. The pros had to drive 23 laps (296.240 km), the amateurs 14 (179.320 km) and five women (64.4 km).

The match turned in the pros around the rivalry between the Tour winner Jacques Anquetil and his teammates at St. Raphael, and the "Emperor of Herentals," outgoing World Champion Rik Van Looy, and his servants with Flandria Faema . Eventually pulled the "Rapha's" the longest straw. The world title went to Frenchman Jean Stablinski which soloed to victory. Second, the Irishman Seamus Elliott, was a team mate of Anquetil. The first "Faema" was Huub Zilverberg (6e). The group with the favorites Anquetil (15th) and Van Looy (30th) finished nearly four minutes behind the winner. [1]

The Italian Renato Boncioni, a rider from the region, was a surprise winner in the amateurs. The championship for women with a unique complete Belgian podium.

The team time trial for amateurs was in Brescia run over two laps of 56 km [2] . There were 19 teams at the start. Under a blazing sun defeated the Italians for the Danes (with Ole Ritter, who later finished second in the road race) and the quartet from Uruguay. The Dutch team, which consisted of Cor Schuuring , Kees Snepvangers , Jan Schröder and Cees van Espen, was fifth. Van Espen was dropped after 10 km in the second round, so only three riders rode the race. Belgium was only sixteen.
