Wilfried Peffgen (born October 1, 1942 in Cologne ; † May 8/9 , 2021 there ) was a German racing cyclist .
Life
In his youth, Wilfried Peffgen first tried other sports such as handball and soccer , until he ended up in cycling and became a 16-year-old German junior road champion. In 1962 he finished fourth and in 1964 second place in the German amateur road championship . At the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 1964 , he was sixth in the road race and a year later German road champion . In 1965 he competed in the Tour de l'Avenir for the second time and secured victory on the first stage in Cologne and thus the yellow jersey. At the UCI Road World Championships in 1965 , he recommended himself with seventh place for a career in professional camp , which began in December 1965 at the Cologne six-day race .
The man from Cologne drove 190 six-day races , most of them with his long-term partner Albert Fritz . He had 16 wins, 41 second and 29 third places. However , Peffgen had his greatest successes on the track as a stayer . Three times - in 1976 , 1978 and 1980 - he was world champion in this discipline and four times European champion together with his long-time pacemaker Dieter Durst .
Peffgen competed four times in the Tour de France : 1967 in the German national team (retired after a fracture of the collarbone on the 13th stage), 1969 in the Salvarani team as a helper to Rudi Altig (52nd overall), 1972 in the German Rokado Team (63rd) and also in the Rokado team in 1973 when he again failed to reach Paris. In 1968 he won a stage at the Vuelta a España , and in 1972 he became German road champion. At the road world championship in 1972 he crossed the finish line in 16th place. In total, he won nine road races as a professional in Belgium, Spain, Great Britain, Switzerland and Germany, most recently in Göppingen in 1981. From 1974 he almost only drove standing and six-day races and retired on January 2, 1983 as an active participant at the Cologne Six-Days with a second place.
In 1967, Peffgen and his wife opened a gas station in Cologne-Longerich. He later ran a bicycle shop in Cologne and was also the sports director of six-day races , such as the six-day races in Dortmund until 2009 .
Wilfried Peffgen died on the weekend of August 8th / 9th. May in Cologne.
