Note:Nikola Nenov, now aged 43, is still racing the Tour of Bulgaria. This time, he won’t win any stage but will finish 8th overall.

In a Tour of Bulgaria without Milko Dimov, runner-up Ilia Krastev would have won 8 stages.

The Torpedo Team was much too powerful, winning 10 stages out of 11 & holding the three first places in the overall ranking.

6 stage wins & second Tour of Bulgaria win for Milko Dimov, the first greatest Bulgarian rider from after World War II, soon to become the first Bulgarian rider ever to win stages (two) in the Peace Race, his best overall ranking being 6th in 1951.
