route
The 1967 Peace Tour had a total length of 2307 kilometers and was divided into 16 stages. The fifth and ninth stages were held as individual time trials. The fourth stage from Bydgoszcz to Slupsk in Poland was the longest part of the day at 214 kilometers. While only flat land stages were driven in Poland, there were three mountain stages in the Ore Mountains and Northern Bohemia between Karl-Marx-Stadt and Liberec .
Race course
The first wearer of the yellow jersey was the 1965 tour winner, the Czechoslovak Jan Smolík . He then lost it to the GDR drivers Manfred Dähne and Rainer Marx at short notice, but took it over again after the fifth stage. After that it looked like he could repeat his 1964 victory, he defended his top position until the 13th segment of the day. In the mountains between Ústí nad Labem and Liberec, however, he lost almost eight minutes and had to hand over the yellow jersey to the Belgian Marcel Maes. On the last three stages, Maes held his own at the top and took even more time from his rival Angel Kirilow from Bulgaria, so that he arrived in Prague with a lead of 4:54 minutes in the overall standings. He owed his success above all to his strength in the mountains, he also won the mountain classification by a large margin. The best GDR driver was Günter Hoffmann in fifth place, 7:27 minutes behind the winner, 20:04 minutes behind the best West German driver Ortwin Czarnowski in 19th place.
For a long time, the battle for the blue jerseys in the team classification was fought between the three host countries Poland, GDR and Czechoslovakia. This final order was already established after the 13th stage. The GDR team had to bear the handicap that Dieter Grabe had already left during the tenth part of the day. The riders of the Association of German Cyclists achieved a respectable success with seventh place. The tour was tragic for the French team, who wore the blue jerseys on stages six to ten, but then suffered a total slump and finally fell out of the ranking because five of their team members were eliminated. Two of them ( Jose Catieau and Marcel Duchemin ) were excluded from the race on suspicion of doping .
