>From Cycling News (http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/former-paris-roubaix-winner-post-dies-at-age-77):
"Post was an accomplished road and track racer during his pro career from 1956 to 1972. He won 65 Six Day competitions and in 1964, he was the winner of Paris-Roubaix. He took the Dutch national title in 1963."
His record speed in the 64 P-R is still asterisked (as in the VeloNation tribute) because it was said to have been ridden on better roads!
"Some of the riders under his tutelage at various points during their careers included Gerrie Knetemann, Jan Raas, Hennie Kuiper, Joop Zoetemelk, Johan van der Velde, Henk Lubberding, Leo van Vliet, Erik Breukink, Eric Vanderaerden, Phil Anderson, Olaf Ludwig, Maurizio Fondriest and Viatcheslav Ekimov."
Now that isn't a bad stable!! I would say that was a win or two in amongst that group!!!
