Pinny 2,536 Posted August 11, 2019 Am I missing something here? MR has seen both and given his opinion that Lee was better than Tai and hes been ripped to shreds because of that? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunky 6,087 Posted August 11, 2019 3 hours ago, Sidney the robin said: winning a Gp series is a different disipline than a one off world final that is fact It is also a fact that a GP series drastically reduces the luck factor. A series requires consistent performances throughout a whole season. Jerzy Szczakiel became World Champion after completing just six races. I have never claimed that was "luck", because he rode well on the night, but it was a lot easier to win a World Championship by having one good meeting.

chunky 6,087 Posted August 11, 2019 3 hours ago, Sidney the robin said: Why dont you lick his b.... while you are at it !!!!! you dont get it also what an arrogant and patronizing remark aimed at Midland Red. That wasn't just aimed at Midland Red. You're still not getting it! Everybody has an opinion, that's fine. However, if you want your opinion to stand up against opinions to the contrary, then it is a good idea to use facts to support that opinion. Three World Championships, a silver, a bronze, plus a scintillating near-perfect display in the 2018 SoN Final are what some of us use to support the case for Tai. Saying, "I saw them both ride" does nothing. For years, I considered Simmo a better rider than Chris Morton. I saw them both ride many times, and from what I recall, Simmo had achieved more at the highest level. Last year, we were discussing the merits of both, and it was brought to my attention that Mort's achievements were actually superior - by quite a long way. It appears that I was using just the one season - 1976 - to cloud my judgment. I am grateful that somebody used FACT to support their claims, and PROVE to me that I was, in fact, WRONG. Yes, opinions CAN be wrong, as they cannot trump FACT. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was your opinion that I considered Michael Lee an "also-ran". That was clearly an opinion that was WRONG, as there is no fact behind that claim whatsoever.

Only those unable to form a coherent argument use this line. An opinion is as worthy as the reasoning behind it.. Midland Red has given none. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
