What a pair they made! They just about slaughtered a top-class field of international riders, with all our best home lads. Only Michel Rousseau, later that year to become world sprint champion, was able to take a points sprint from them. That was in the first sprint, too; thereafter the German pair gained not only every sprint for points but every prime prize as well ... They went on to Coventry meeting held over Easter and did much the same thing, winning everything in which they rode, so classy was their performance.
