After West German Dieter Braun won in 1971, the East German crowd sung the West German anthem. To prevent further "demonstrations", the East German politicians limited entry of riders from Western states from 1972 onwards, and mainly allowed only riders from Eastern European socialist states. Thus the event was not continued as WC race anymore.
