Summary

A team time trial was first contested at the World Championships in 1962. Italy had won in 1962 and 1964, and placed second to France in 1963. The course was three laps of a 36.631 km. course. On the first lap, France posted the fastest time, but Italy took the lead over the second lap. At that point, the Dutch team began to pull up, and eventually won the gold medal by 24 seconds over Italy, with the Swedish team third.
