salty 2,211 Posted August 25, 2014 Off the top of my head I'd go for Janno in 1990 and Nielsen in 1994. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted August 25, 2014 OUT of interest (or boredom - it's raining) who would you consider to be the best riders in 1990n and 1994?Hans in 94. 90 you could mske arguments for hans, jan o, moran or jonsson. I reckon hans would have won a gp series both years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted August 25, 2014 ADMIT he's a mate but always felt Tetum could have won at Bradford ... the track really suited him but he got shafted by Hans (a friend!) in a vital heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Humphrey Appleby 14,000 Posted August 25, 2014 ADMIT he's a mate but always felt Tetum could have won at Bradford ... the track really suited him but he got shafted by Hans (a friend!) in a vital heat. Tatum was always too inconsistent to string together five good rides in a row, especially at the highest level. Never mattered what the track was like. He maybe started to get it together when he focused on longtrack, but not at his speedway career peak. BTW - Tatum did exactly the same thing to Nielsen in the previous years' Intercontinental Final, so it's all fair in love and war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oleoleole 235 Posted August 25, 2014 So I pressume Darcy Ward will ride in Gorzow if we hear nothing from the FIM. Isn't that rather strange? Also why doesn't anybody seem to know when the FIM hearing will be? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Tatum was always too inconsistent to string together five good rides in a row, especially at the highest level. Never mattered what the track was like. He maybe started to get it together when he focused on longtrack, but not at his speedway career peak. BTW - Tatum did exactly the same thing to Nielsen in the previous years' Intercontinental Final, so it's all fair in love and war. He just couldn't consistently go great guns, fire himself to the front and create super speedway. OUT of interest (or boredom - it's raining) who would you consider to be the best riders in 1990n and 1994? 1990 - Trevor O'Brien. Well, I liked him..... Depends on your criteria I guess. Most fun I'd had since the legendary Pete Wigley. As for 1994, was there a speedway season? Edited August 25, 2014 by rmc 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,864 Posted August 25, 2014 Is it such a difficult decision to make? Surely not. No it shouldn't be really and I find it strange that there aren't any pre-defined rulings for riders who are caught being intoxicated in relation to a meeting.
