Imatranajot are great part of my childhood memories. I lived in Imatra and I saw all the Imatra road racings 1978 - 1983. In 1981 I was 12 years old and I was there with my dad.
love the music kinda goes with the retro story of the infamous imatra Road Races Awesome when men where men, bikes were loud and smelly, and the racing was good, no PR bullshit here fancy haircuts,,sunglasses and advertising.

Fantastico vedere campionissimi come Roberts passeggiare per il campo di gara come se nulla fosse... oggi purtroppo non è più così.
Kiitos for this rarity ;-)
Thanks, awesome footage :)
Fabulous film of the Greats from an heroic age - perfect choice of Sibelius.
