German Sprinter Takes a Dull Race
The 1952 World Championship Road Race was held in Leudelange, Luxembourg. The 280 km race course around the City of Leudelange presented a relatively easy course.
The race was rather dull until the final kilometers. A 34 rider peloton rode into the finish. German track rider Heinz Muller launched a brilliant sprint to narrowly defeat Swiss sprinter Gottfried Wellenmann.
