The race took place on the dunes near Fort Risban, situated between the harbor basin and the open sea. The area is now largely built over. The just over 20-kilometer course was considered favorable for road cyclists: each of the six laps included 1,800 meters of paved road, and the rest of the course was also largely rideable, although snow and rain had softened the terrain somewhat. Rolf Wolfshohl was therefore considered the favorite, especially since the defending champion, Renato Longo, was hampered by a shoulder injury.1 December 2022 UCI World Championships Cyclocross 1963 - Results https://cyclocross24.com/race/8131 cyclocross24.com Luxemburger Wort, Ausgabe vom 16.
