Joe Beevers 207 Posted March 23, 2016 His son Vladimir came over with the Russian team we brought over in 1990...nice guy, I believe that he is still racing. Nickolai Kornev was another "old timer" who made teh trip Was that the team that rode around Exeter and Poole back than? I remember Korneev, Starotsin and I thought it was Viktor Trofimov who rode at No 1 as he was experienced. Also had Viktor Gaidym and Igor Marko and a few others who were brought over by an American? Can't remember a Vladimir Trofimov though having said that I may have the wrong year but it was close to than. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was most impressed by Khlinovski. Didn't Dave Lanning refer to him as Victor "Knockimov" during his commentary at the same meeting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
