Great article on Kelly Moran - even more poignant now

Get Sky to rename it the 'Sky Golden Helmet Series' and you would have a winner!

Andersen at 16-1 (each way) and Holder 33-1 (each way) aren't bad odds

He'll certainly create controversy! I think it might be another year or two before he will have the consistency and maturity to take the crown though

I think that Pedersen might win tomorrow with Gollob as usual being close. Crump might still be feeling the injuries and settle for a semi final slot at this stage of the season.

I still think Crumpie is a step ahead of the others, but it will be a lot closer this year with several riders capable of winning GPs (and taking points off each other). Crumpie (just), from Nikki, Emil, Lindgren and Gollob

He was done a year or two back I think

Pekka Hautamaki Kristian Praestbro Chris Turner Eric Monaghan Eric Broadbelt Phil Collins Les Collins John Titman Rod Hunter Steve Finch

Dave Morton always seemed to get injured when he was about to hit the really big time. He would probably have reached a few World Finals if he had avoided the big injuries.

Jim McMillan Charlie Monk George Hunter Henny Kroeze Bobby Beaton Martin Scarisbrick Ian Hindle

The Belle Vue team sponsored silver leathers (in 1977 I think) were pretty horrible. They looked like astronauts PC and Mort changed back to their normal leathers VERY soon afterwards

My Backtrack arrived today (Tuesday) and is the best yet. Great interviews with Crumpie (senior) and Dag Lovaas and Ron Preston - simply the best read around form70s/80s fans nlike me

drb If you ever find a source for the riders and teams stats from 1991 onwards could you please let me know at Garry1603@aol.com Thanks Garry
