Rolf Wolfshohl competed on road, in the countryside, and on the track. He won, among others, the Vuelta a España in 1965 and Paris-Nice in 1968, and two stages in the 1968 Tour de France, where he finished 6th. He was a three-time world cyclocross champion: 1960, 1961, and 1963. Rolf Wolfshohl died in 2024 at the age of 85.
