Ok, I take shadow as the one getting it first. Yes, it's Ugrumov.
Amazing in his the early twenties, then had to adapt....
Sorry for the wrong yes/no!
Also took him as I did a search in the thread and saw that someone had Ugrumov as the answer in one of my hostings way back.
No, when I looked him up on Google i just read that he was a Russian cyclist and that was it. Otherwise I barely knew anything about him so me being dumb.
I would think netserk. I went with rominger first while netserk knew who it was. DJ updated his post after I asked if it was rominger and netserk said it was the Soviet Sputnik.
