UCI Road World Championships
Road Cycling - 1970 UCI Road World Race Championships - Mens Professional Race
Defending champion, Hollands Harmen Harm Ottenbros before the start at Mallory Park, Leicester. He finished in 20th place.
A relative unknown, he was a surprise winner the previous year when the race was staged in Belgium, taking advantage to break away when many of the other riders were marking home favourite Eddy Merckx.
He had a disastrous year as World Champion, with his team folding as well as missing much of the season through injury. He was also ostracised by many of other riders in the peloton who believed he had no right to cyclings biggest prize, and he struggled even to get start money for some races.
