The pair went unbeaten in the semi-final I remember. Gordon borrowed Simmo's bike and tyres during the final. Gordon was so near claiming the three major World Final Gold medals that year. Gold in the Pairs and Silver in the Team Cup and Individual.
That really was a clever one...who would have thought Reidar Eide wearing both ex-Mauger leathers and helmet. Was he loaned them I wonder because I don't recall Reidar ever appearing in public wearing them?
