Paul Friedrichs

Motorsport

Paul Friedrichs was an East German motocross and enduro racer, born on 21 March 1940 and died on 30 August 2012. He competed in the FIM Motocross World Championships from 1961 to 1972. Political tensions at the height of the Cold War kept him from competing in nations such as West Germany, yet he still won three consecutive Motocross World Championships between 1966 and 1968. His record shows a rider from the eastern bloc who took the world title in three straight seasons despite those limits on where he could race.
