Vintage bicycle race sticker - Tommy Prim?

We just had to share this sticker with you. Found in Aspbäcks vykort, brev, frimärken HB, in Antikhallarna Göteborg. For those of you who don't know about this place we can tell you that it's pretty cool. Antikhallarna Göteborg (or rather the building) was a bank from 1885 to - we guess - 1973. In 1975 Antikhallarna Göteborg moved in. It's like a mall, with twelve antiques dealers, selling everything from old stamps and records to watches and coins. The building alone is worth a visit - it's quite impressive.

And last weekend we ran across this sticker, for only 10 Swedish krona (about €1). Postgirot Open was a professional road bike staging race in Sweden, that was held from 1982 to 2002. The race was six to eight days long. We're not sure, but we think that the guy on the sticker is Tommy Prim, who won the Postgirot Open race the two first years the race was held. Either way it's a cool guy, a cool bike (a classic Bianchi) and a super cool jersey. And a bit of Swedish bicycle history.
