Time For Top 5 Russians

Recommended Posts

I would go with Briggoes selections, G laguta would get in but cant because of his career path.

But he has been consistently one of the top 10 riders in the world, arguably until last season. I think he certainly deserves inclusion ahead of a number of riders listed here.

I have always been a fan,but up until this year he has never really bothered about the GPS for me he has been in a safety zone.

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

They did indeed & also appeared at Wembley for the World Final in 1975, although Vladimir didn't get a ride. I saw them both at Exeter in 1976.

And I saw them both at the 1976 WTC Final at White City...

Rovno/Rivne is Ukraine.

In the team championship of the USSR, the team performed from 1962 to 1979.
