home straight 290 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Would there ever be a more popular world champion than Greg if he can kick on for his second title this year? Edited June 25, 2011 by home straight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjw ministerofport 1 Posted June 25, 2011 Couldn't wish for a better way to use my 1000 post than to wish Greg many congratulations on his win and as home straight said doubt there would be a more popular winner of the World championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImpartialOne 160 Posted June 25, 2011 I felt he might not be able to sustain it going into this meeting, and certainly didn't expect Gollob to give as many points away as he did. This has set him up nicely now and I hope he does it. Would this be the biggest gap between World Titles? 14 years, it's almost another generation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its clear the years since Cradley closed have mellowed my thoughts, but I do hope Greg wins the title this year! Never, ever thought I would say that back in the mid-late 90's!!

BWitcher 12,453 Posted June 25, 2011 He was always phenomenal around Wolves though, you have to admit. Of course. As was Billy Hamill. Wolves/Cradley clashes, now they would have made good tv for Sky. Seeing the 4 americans Ermolenko/Correy/Hancock/Hamill do battle was something else. And throw PK in there in the latter years too.

Well, point 1; That's racist. Point 2, it's not a false grin, it's all his own and he is like that "in real life". Point 3, they're all on the "can bandwagon", if a company was throwing thousands of pounds my way I'd definitely say cheers to them on tv in every interview.

LaalDaveRacing 1 Posted June 25, 2011 not only is he a gentleman, he rides with big cahoneys, smooth as you like. Thousands and thousands of people watched the superstar Greg Hancock just win the biggest Gp of them all and out of them all i think there is just one person that doesnt like him. I bet your a fan of ben barker orion, you seem like the type lol Just like to say after winning that, with everything that must go through your head...TOP of gregs thoughts was leigh adams. great respect from one legend to another Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
