Postgirot Open 1987

They made a postcard for the Postgirot Open 1987 race as well. As you can see the race is full on, riders and everything. (Note the Volvo 340 support car!) But they have tossed all the logos and style aside. This is just three pictures from the race. A bit boring, if you ask me. So why did they do this? I have no idea. Did the race not get as much attention as the Postgirot money transaction service (well, the bosses) hoped it would? Were they tired? Did they leave the design of the card to some intern? I would love to know.

The back of the card isn't better. It just says Postgirot Open 10-16/6 1987 and Norra Europas största cykeltävling (The biggest bicycle competition in Northern Europe).

It's cool that this was the biggest bicycle competition in Northern Europe, though! Or well, it would have been cooler if we - still - had this huge bicycle race up here, but you know what I mean.

Ride safe!
