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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the Mic Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
