Thats sad, such a good rider.

.

Great rider, never forgotten, - in World Finals: he and Plechanov coming 4th and 2nd respectively in '64 - , and in the regular GB v USSR Test series from '64 on.

.

He was also World No.1 on ice in '62, '63, '65 & '67, (initial years as forerunner 'European Cup/Champ' title.)

Wasn't Samorodov out of the series after his first heat at Plough Lane in 1965.Might have even been his first heat in the UK that year as he doesn't seem to have been in any challenge meetings either,although it was a while back when I looked this up and might have missed a meeting or two

 

R.I.P

I remember him well from seeing the USSR riders many times back in the day. One of the top men of his generation and sadly now gone.
