Gavan 5,050 Posted March 7, 2015 Well being a Mark Loram fan and my family sponsering him at a young age im biased, but surely the Swedish Gp in 1999 has to go down as one of the greatest races ever seen. That is supreme skill on a bike, i remember once chatting to Greg Hancock and he always said nobody could ever work out how Mark used to get his wheels in line so quickly. Also the British Final run off in 1997 was a great race. Also on the Loramski the legend dvd there is a race with Mark, Havvy, Hamill and Hancock at Poole. If someone could upload a clip of that it was 4 racers hard but fair and the throttle control of all of them was fantastic. Other than Mark i would say Jan O'Pedersen overtaking 7 world class riders takes some beating 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
