Athletic career

In 1964, Peter Glemser took second place in the Tour de Berlin (U 23) and took part in the Olympic Games in Tokyo in the team time trial (14th place). The following year he became a professional and German runner-up in road racing . In 1966 he won around Cologne and in 1967 the Tour de l'Oise (as the third German driver after Klaus Bugdahl and Winfried Bölke ). He took part in the Tour de France twice - in 1967 and 1968 - but retired both times. In 1967, after the closure of his racing stable, Torpedo, threatened to end his career prematurely. Although he had an offer from Team Zimba from Switzerland, which he declined because the conditions seemed disadvantageous to him. In long negotiations he was then able to negotiate an acceptable contract and continue his career.

In 1968 Glemser became German champion in the single pursuit on the track , the following year he won two German championship titles, in road racing and in sprint . In 1970 he was again German runner-up in road racing. In the same year he ended his active cycling career when his then employer, Team Batavus (where he rode alongside Hennes Junkermann , among others ), ended his involvement in cycling.
