father jack 31 Posted March 18, 2007 Im trying to think of riders that have ridden in world Finals / GPS in 3 decades. I can think of Briggo 50's , 60's 70's, and Edward Jancarz 60's 70's 80's, but no more. Anyone else got any ideas ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted March 19, 2007 Hans Nielsen made his debut in 1980 in Gothenburg and was still in the GP's into the millenium. Ole Olsen made his debut in the 60's and went through to the mid 80's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,113 Posted March 19, 2007 Jack Parker - 30s, 40s, 50s Tommy Price - 30s, 40s, 50s Norman Parker qualified as reserve in the 30s and made finals in the 40s and 50s Aub Lawson qualified for the 1939 final which was never held and then rode in the 40s, 50s and 60s (4 decades!) Nigel Boocock qualified as reserve in the 50s and then rode in the 60s and 70s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.N.T. 355 Posted March 19, 2007 TNT, Er... sorry mate... wrong on BOTH counts All the best Rob <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually thought twice when I posted it Hans Nielsen did however win World Titles in three decades. He lifted the pairs with Ole Olsen in 1978 then the individual in the 80's and 90's. When did Olsen make his debut ? Won his first in 71 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
