The race was won by Italian rider Felice Gimondi of the Salvarani team, who attacked on the Pas Roland climb before soloing to the finish in Roubaix.Paris-Roubaix: Moments that have defined cycling's most-loved Monument https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.com/racing/features/paris-roubaix-moments-that-have-defined-cyclings-most-loved-monument 2024-04-10 Global Cycling Network en A climb adjacent to Mons-en-Pévèle, Caouin, featured in 1958 but the cobbled hike to the village itself was introduced in 1966, as one of the race's most fearsome tests. The race organisers plotted a route up the notoriously rough lane known as 'Pas-Roland', and the cobbles instantly made an impact, with Felice Gimondi attacking and reaching the top of the sector alone. He would ride the next 40km solo to win his first and only Paris-Roubaix title, but the Pas-Roland was soon paved over, as was the common treatment for much of the pavé in those days. The Pas Roland climb was subsequently paved with asphalt before the 1967 edition of the race.
