Athletic career

In 1981 Pyotr Sergejewitsch Ugrjumow became the Soviet champion in the individual time trial . From 1983 to 1985 as well as 1987 and 1988 he drove with the Soviet team on the International Peace Tour. He had his best result in 1988 when he was third overall. In 1983 he won a stage of the Tour de Bretagne , the following year the prologue of the Peace Tour and the Giro Ciclistico d'Italia for youngsters . In 1983 he started for the first time at the UCI Road World Championships and was classified 59th in the amateur road race. In 1986 he won the title of Soviet time trial champion again. He also won national championship titles in road races (1986) and in stage driving (1984).

1989 Ugryumov turned professional. At the 1994 Tour de France , after the departure of Swiss Tony Rominger, he became Miguel Indurain's greatest adversary . He won two difficult mountain stages in the Alps in a row and finished second in the final classification, 5:39 minutes behind Induráin. This year he drove for the Gewiss-Balan team , which was supervised by the medic Michele Ferrari . After he played down doping with EPO in an interview , he was immediately dismissed by the team.

At the Giro d'Italia 1995 Ugrjumow finished third behind Tony Rominger and his teammate Yevgeny Berzin , with Ugrjumow and Berzin more focused on their rivalry than attacking Rominger. In 1996 he finished fourth in the Giro d'Italia , seventh in the Tour de France and started in the road race at the Olympic Games in Atlanta and finished 58th.
