Not really, I _think_ at least Tord Filipsson and Alf Segerstad were Monark/Crescent riders, but Bernt was somewhat of an outsider in the swedish team and may have been sponsored by Peugeot as they were pretty new in Sweden - established 1972 - as a brand and trying hard (with some success in the late 70s and early 80s) to capture market. Tommy Prim rode Bianchi for the same reason, but i am unsure whether he did that before his italian years.

names, names, names or as Napoleon Bponaparte turned it: "fame is short-lived, but unpercieved is for eternity"
