A Question For You?

[colincooke 0]

As this is my 1000th post i'm celebrating it with a poser for you.

 

In speedway history there have been 4 occasions when riders from the same nation have achieved a clean sweep 1-2-3 on the World Championship rostrum.

 

The question: Name the years & the 3 riders in finishing order.

 

Good luck CC

1988 - Erik Gundersen, Hans Nielsen, Jan O' Pedersen.

Dirty cheat!

 

No really, Schumi, I'm jealous because my two remaining little grey cells could only come up with 1949.

 

That was easy because I was there and the minor placings were both Belle Vue riders. Your source of info was very interesting to this old veterand supporter.

 

Joy to you.

Extra question: what makes the result of the 1949 final extra special?

I think it was the only time the last two places were occupied by riders with Oliver in their name?Oliver Hart & Dent Oliver.One as a christian name,the other as a surname.Am i right or did that occur in another final?

Extra question: what makes the result of the 1949 final extra special?

-> It was first time when only results of the final decide on final classification

-> Also 4th place came to the same nation rider (N.Parker)

-> Two riders with the same name (brothers?) were high-ever-placed (2nd Jack Parker, 4th N. Parker)
