The 262.5 kilometres (163.1 mi) course included the 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi) cobbled Pas Roland climb up to Mons-en-Pévèle, with an average gradient of 4% and a maximum gradient of 8%. 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.[4] The Pas Roland climb was subsequently paved with asphalt before the 1967 edition of the race.[4]
