That was 1985. Mike Burrows made the first version of his Windcheetah that year. In his autobiography he claims it was the first monocoque frame https://www.podiumcafe.com/book-corner/2017/6/13/15791878/from-bicycle-to-superbike-by-tony-hadland-and-mike-burrows I wonder whether he really beat Battaglin to it? It must have been nip and tuck.

Nearly all "first" claims turn out to be spurious. You would have to narrow the claim to "first carbon fibre monocoque" in order to exclude the aluminium Moulton Mk1
