Postgirot Open 1982 (again)

As Part 2 of our new series "Postgirot Open", here's a second post card from 1982. The photo was taken during the race and then, presumably, published afterwards. We don't know much about it, really. It says on the back of the post card that the photo was taken in Södertälje, and it definitely looks like a sprint so we guess that it shows the finishing of the fifth stage.

Frame mounted gear shifters, quill pedals with toe clips and straps, the guy to the left rides a DBS bicycle (a Norwegian brand) and though we're not sure it looks like the guy in the middle is sponsored by Nokia tyres (the logos on the shoulders)... From 1909 to 1988 tyres and wellington boots were made by the Nokia company.

Talking about Nokia, it look as if Nokia will re-emerge as a producer of mobile phones in 2016. Let's hope so! We really like Nokia mobile phones. (Our experience with Nokia phones is that they are really sturdy and super practical.) But today's topic is the Postgirot Open 1982 bicycle race. Here is the post card:

Two post cards was kind of a nice start to the most important race in Swedish history, wasn't it?

Ride safe!
