Cycling competition
The Soviet Union National Road Race Championships were cycling races that were held annually to determine the Soviet cycling champion in road racing, across several categories of riders. The event was first held in 1947 and was won by Vladimir Lassi. Up until 1989 the Soviet cyclists were not allowed to compete as professionals so all the national championships were classed as amateur events. From 1989 until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 the race was considered professional.
