Rolf Tibblin

Rolf Tibblin, born on 7 May 1937, is a Swedish former professional motocross racer who competed in the Motocross World Championships from 1957 to 1967, most prominently with the Husqvarna factory team, where he was a two-time 500cc Motocross World Champion. His career spanned the shift from the heavy four-stroke machines of the 1950s to the lightweight two-strokes of the 1960s, and he was one of the first motocross competitors to stress a rigorous physical fitness training regimen. He was part of a Swedish contingent with Bill Nilsson, Sten Lundin and Torsten Hallman that dominated motocross in the early 1960s, a member of the Swedish teams that won the Motocross des Nations in 1961 and 1962, and the top individual points scorer at the 1962 event. He also topped the individual points at the 1960 International Six Days Trial.
