Who was the greatest rider in Europe during the 80's?

 Is this something that keeps you up at night? Well wonder no more!

Thanks to a guy named Magnus in Sweden, he's come up with a formula to determine who was the greatest Euro in the 80's. He assigned them points on their GP standings and came up with this. You can read Magnus's site right HERE.

They called him "The Kid" and he was Europes best. Ladies and gentleman, Eric Geboers! A Will De Clerq photo
