Race course

The individual winner, with an hourly average of 37.1 km, Piet Damen, laid the foundation for his success on the 3rd stage when he fought for the stage win from a five-man leading group. He took 14 minutes from the previous leader Kapitonow (Soviet Union). In the further course of the race, the Soviet driver Bebenin and the Belgian Hermans remained his toughest competitors. However, in the time trial of the 8th stage, women managed to distance both Bebenin and Hermans by one minute each. In the end, Damen won with two minutes ahead of Bebenin and seven minutes from Hermans. Kapitonow was able to win a stage three times. Drivers from the GDR also won a stage three times, Schur twice, plus Egon Adler. Adler was also able to place himself in 5th place in the overall classification as the best German driver. The best German participant was Friedhelm Fischerkeller in 13th place.

The Soviet Union sent the most balanced team. The three drivers relevant for the team standings Boris Bebenin (2nd), Pawel Wostrjakow (6th) and Wiktor Kapitonow (7th) ensured a sovereign team victory in front of last year's winner, the GDR, who with Egon Adler (5th), Gustav- Adolf Schur (8th) and Erich Hagen (23rd) needed 54 minutes longer. Thanks to their tour winner Piet Damen, the Dutch team finished 3rd, 1:02 hours behind the winners. The amateurs from the Federal Republic of Germany with their three competition drivers Friedhelm Fischerkeller (13th), Horst Hanske (42nd) and Horst Dreske (79th) ended up in 14th place, over six hours behind.

With Wiktor Kapitonow there was a triple stage winner (2nd, 5th and 12th), Gustav-Adolf Schur won the 4th and 8th stage. Egon Adler achieved the third GDR success on the 5th stage. On the mountain stages, Viktor Kapitonow also proved to be the best climber and won the mountain classification.
