The 1965 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships were held in Cavaria con Premezzo, Italy on Sunday February 14, 1965. It was the 16th edition of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships.[1]
Twelve teams participated, setting a new record. As in the previous year, teams came from Algeria, Belgium, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, and Czechoslovakia; Bulgaria also participated for the first time with one driver.[2]
Renato Longo and Rolf Wolfshohl, who had each won three of the last six World Championships, broke away from the competition in the first lap and built up a lead of up to one and a half minutes.[3] In the final running section, approximately 1 km from the finish, Longo managed to create the decisive gap and won by 13 seconds. Amerigo Severini finished third. The race was watched by around 20,000 spectators.[4]
