In this success in the history of cycling could not help hindering large trading companies. Everything came to the fact that the riders were "bought" and the competitions turned into a purely commercial event. The whole trade swallowed up the sports arena. Gradually, people began to lose interest in bicycle racing. As one of the famous Russian athletes P. Ippolit wrote: "Two decades after the triumphant event at the Moscow racetrack (it is about 1883), there was nothing left of cycling." After the coup in 1917 in Tula, there was only one single track, it was one active track for the whole of Russia.

Then another stage of development of cycling begins, now in the RSFSR. In the twenties, along the Moscow Garden Ring (this street was still paved with cobblestones), meetings of Moscow riders, Petrograd, took place. Then there was the championship in Siberia, the all-Ukrainian Olympiad in Kharkov, the country's championship at the Moscow racetrack in 1923, the race on tracks, roads ... The real impetus for the development of cycling in the Soviet Union was the All-Union Olympics, which took place in 1928. Before that, in 1926, riders from Russia competed in competitions with foreign athletes who were part of sports organizations. The first victories took place in Paris, Bremen.
But only in the 50 years on the international arena the official score of the speeches began. This happened after our athletes were recognized as real professionals in the International Union. The USSR was a member of the International federation of fans of cycling since 1965. R. Vargashkin became the first Soviet record holder in the races on the track for a distance of 1 kilometer. Soviet athletes debuted in 1952, but, unfortunately, the debut was unsuccessful. Over the years, Soviet athletes have failed, but ultimately came to victory. 1976 and 1980 - games in which the USSR team became the Olympic champion in the highway race. In 1988 our athletes received 4 gold medals. In the USSR, they were proud of their winners: S. Suhorechenkov, A. Kirichenko, Z. Zaribova.
