In 1967 they were awarded the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal.[1]

Petterson turned professional after the 1969 World Championships, together with the other brothers, but had little success and retired in 1972. He was known for pushing himself to the limits. At a 1964 race in Malmö he fainted 12 km before the finish; his brother Gösta rode nearby and managed to catch him from falling. Sture died aged 40, probably due to a ruptured blood vessel in the brain.[2] His grandson Marcus Fåglum also became a leading road racing cyclist.[3]
