Valery Klementiev Bubbling under are Vladimir Gordeev, Grigori Khlynovski and Viktor Trofimov I would go with that...perhaps adding Valeri Gordeev who many in the West thought was brother Vladimir (who had been banned for a year) riding under cover!

You never saw them together in the West, so just added to the myth/mystique........then they toured together over here in '74 I think 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valery Klementiev Bubbling under are Vladimir Gordeev, Grigori Khlynovski and Viktor Trofimov Trofimov has i think , since the break up of the Soviet Union be designated a Ukrainian rider I would agree with Plechanov,Emil and Boris.Wonder if Grigori Laguta should make it into the top 5....he is definitely over a few years one of the best riders in the world Edited June 23, 2017 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
