1963 UCI Track World Championships
The 53 UCI Track Cycling World Championships found from 1 to 7 August 1963 at the Velodrome in Rocourt instead.
The dominant nation at these world championships in their own country was Belgium with a total of four world championship titles out of a total of nine.
The women's races, which were held for the seventh time, continued to be viewed with skepticism by the German magazine Radsport : “Women's competitions may be attractive in some areas, for example in art driving; they are not in racing. Because here in most cases Venus has forgotten to send a ray of her favor to her biking colleagues. ” About the world champion Beryl Burton , whose family - husband and children - had traveled, a journalist remarked ironically: “ Father makes the beds, and Mother rides a bike. Wonderful! "
The new amateur sprint world champion, Patrick Sercu, became famous : “A new man, a new star triumphed in the aviation sky; not a 'one-day fly', but an athlete who, thanks to his innate talent and a sporty lifestyle, promises to continue to make a name for himself. "
