waiheke1 4,295 Posted December 30, 2014 Nobody has mentioned the great Tony Rickardsson in any (best of) categories.......?he was my choice above as best all rounder.probably not going to be nominated as best gater as he wasnt renowned as being a start tart, but similatly not going to be nominated as best racer as he did far less work from the back than the likes of emil, ward, gollob, pc x2 etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnboy 254 Posted December 31, 2014 Best gater : Dave jessup Best racer : has to be hands down henka seemed as though he just hung back till the last lap before over taking everyone just to please the fans. Sadly Was never as good after breaking his leg though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,783 Posted December 31, 2014 Gater - Andy Graham Racer - Henka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,080 Posted December 31, 2014 Mauger was definitely the best gater , apart from when up against a Pole taking a 30 yard run at the gate in a World Final run off . Any of the Collins brothers had you on the edge of your seat when they were carving their way past riders . Les at Powderhall was the most entertaining I've ever seen , you were praying he would fluff the start , even though he was in the opposition side . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Les and Neil Collins at Leicester (Blackbird Rd) Les powering round the pack on the tote bend, and Neil, undercutting on the City bend, his front wheel on the kerb, just underneath the rider in front of hims rear wheel, silk scarf blowing in the Castrol R air....

packerman 160 Posted January 7, 2015 Surprised that nobody has mentioned Per Jonson as best gater? for team riding would say Sudden Sam times that I saw him helping Jan Steachman at Woves Best Racer go with either Mark Loram, Darcy Ward or Tomasz Gollob if he missed the gate at Wroclaw in a GP Final https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S9RyFEw9_E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
