1960, Sport: Tour of Flanders

The 44th edition of the Tour of Flanders was held on 3 April 1960 over a distance of 227 km. The race started in Ghent and finished in Wetteren. The winner recorded an average speed of 38.690 km/h. Of the 164 riders who started, 72 completed the race.

Finish in Wetteren

As the defending champion from 1959, Rik Van Looy was the overwhelming favourite. He reached Wetteren in a leading group of around twenty riders. In the final sprint, however, Tuur Decabooter proved too fast for him after responding to a late attack by Jean Graczyk, and took the victory.
