Star Sailor: Guennady Moiseev




Russian Guennady Moiseev was a three-time FIM 250cc Motocross World Champion. Moiseev won the 1974 250 World Championship in a series that was clouded with controversy involving Moiseev’s Russian teammates who had targeted Czech rider Jarolsav Falta for sabotage. At the final Grand Prix of the season, iFalta won the 250 World Title, but was then disqualified for jumping the start. The 1974 title went to Moiseev. Moiseev’s title was clouded by the circumstances and also because Falta was popular in the motocross world, while Moiseev was unpopular due to the Cold War. Moisseev won 14 FIM 250 GPs during his career. Moiseev would go on to to win the 1977 and 1978 250 World Championships after the 1974 crown and he led the Russian team to the 1978 Motocross des Nations.
